I heard the njsp were modeled after German uniforms.. They look ready to invade poland You heard wrong.. considering the design of the uniforms came way before the Gestapo. Ummm.... you're wrong.... The NJSP uniform was modeled after the Interwar Reichsheer Uniform. Which evolved into the WWII Uniforms. In addition to its distinctive triangular badge, Troopers wear a distinctive uniform for regular patrol duties, which is normally reserved for "Class A" functions in nearby state police forces (Delaware, New York, and Pennsylvania). Its origins, according to common NJ folklore and Col. Schwarzkopf's diaries, are in German uniforms of the inter-war period which were found to be sufficiently smart and imposing, while practical. The winter uniform consists of a light blue Army-style coat, known as a blouse, with brass buttons, and gold triangular patches, with "N.J." on the right lapel and "S.P." on the left. The blouse is worn over a dress shirt, light blue for sergeants and below, white for lieutenants and above, and a navy blue necktie. Navy blue trousers or riding breeches bearing a gold stripe on each side completes the uniform. During the summer, the blouse is replaced with a long-sleeve blue shirt (NJ State Troopers have not worn short-sleeved shirts since Wednesday, November 1, 2000), while a necktie is still worn. A saucer-shaped hat (as opposed to a Stetson hat in New York and Maryland or the Campaign hat in Delaware and Pennsylvania.) is worn, with two straps—one going over the crown, giving the uniform a distinctive, almost German Army-like appearance, appropriate to the uniform's origin. Unlike most other police agencies, the Troopers' badge is only worn on the hat. For this reason, it is extremely unusual to ever see a Trooper without his cover on. Enlisted troopers wear their applicable rank on the sleeves while officers wear their rank on shoulder epaulets. Both winter and summer uniforms are worn with the full Sam Browne Belt, if a weapon is worn, which was adopted by Col. Schwarzkopf, as the belt gave the wearer a proper "brace" (known by General of the Armies John Pershing as the "West Point Brace;" appropriate at the time since both Pershing and Schwarzkopf were both graduates). Colonel Schwarzkopf’s military background greatly influenced all areas of the newly formed organization. During training olive-drab denims, courtesy of the Army surplus store, served their purpose very well. As the end of training approached, the need for a distinctive uniform became a priority. Schwarzkopf outfitted the new troopers in what was standard from 1921-1924. That original uniform consisted of a Stetson hat, brown boots, olive britches, gray shirt, Jersey blue tie, navy wool blouse and Sam Browne belt and holster. The belt forced the wearer to “brace” like a West Pointer, which was exactly why it was chosen by Schwarzkopf. NJSP website How many German Army uniforms included a Stetson hat???????????????????????????????????? |

http://www.chpforums.com/forum/showthread.php?t=8680 I do like the LA uniforms. Solid blue . Dude, the guy from Mass. in that thread is wearing a CIB. My agency allows the wearing of Military awards for special occasions. I think it is foolish. Don't have any cool military awards?

That'll work! Reminds me of a joke, a bit of a play on the Texas Ranger/Riot one. Why are there only 500,000 Wyomingites? That's all that's needed. |

Their uniforms, like NJSP's pre-date the Nazi's That's about what I thought. The Nazis emulated the uniform, tactics, and especially the attitude? That explains a lot. Let's hope that they change their ways before history must repeat itself. |
