| The Pennsylvania State Police was created by an Act of the legislature which was signed into law by Governor Samuel W. Pennypacker on May 2, 1905. It was the first uniformed police organization of its kind in the United States. This experiment in law enforcement set a new standard in policing and served as a model for other state police agencies throughout the nation. The founding principles are evident today, even as the PSP sets new standards for tomorrow. The commitment to excellence will long remain a driving force in law enforcement. Throughout its rich history, the Pennsylvania State Police has provided police services to vast regions of Pennsylvania. Today, the authorized complement of the Pennsylvania State Police is 4,545 sworn members. In addition, over 1,600 civilians serve in a variety of roles throughout the Department. |
