State Troopers: A Legacy of Service
Since 1905, Pennsylvania State Troopers have bravely served the people of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and its many visitors. Whether patrolling our interstates, protecting our local communities, or performing dangerous undercover work, Troopers maintain peace and order.
Of Pennsylvania’s State Troopers, President Theodore Roosevelt famously once said, “I feel so strongly about them that the mere fact a man is honorably discharged from this Force would make me at once, and without hesitation, employ him for any purpose needing courage, prowess, good judgment, loyalty, and entire trustworthiness.” The courage President Roosevelt spoke of continues to be proven time and again. More than 100 Troopers have given their lives in the line of duty in Pennsylvania, while still more have given the last full measure in serving our country overseas. Thousands of Troopers have been injured in the line of duty.
