The model 19 is known as the Combat Magnum. I is built on the medium K frame. The Highway Patrolman is the Model 28, built on the large N frame. It's also a .357 Magnum, and it will have "357 CTG. Highway Patrolman" roll stamped on the right side of the barrel. See picture below.

A good condition Model 19-3 with the large target stocks and 4" barrel can go for $750-$900 generally. Having the original box helps with value. I agree with RGNewell that the trigger pull is too light. You should test fire it for consistent ignition. Many "trigger jobs" will create issues causing failures to fire and light primer strikes if they aren't done properly.
