Book Description
STATE TROOPERS of AMERICA is a new 414 page soft back book with approximately 1500 high resolution black and white photographs relating to the state trooper of today and yesterday. The book covers all 50 states in individual chapters.
Written for primarily for serious memorabilia collectors and for the movie and TV industry producers, the publication is great reference reading for anyone interested in the state trooper. There are details, details, details in both word and picture. Every chapter shows the current badge, uniform shoulder patch, hat badge, hat, uniforms, marked patrol cars, and license plates of today's state police and highway patrol departments. Older badges, uniforms, hats and hat badges, shoulder patches, marked patrol cars, and license plates are also shown in high resolution black and white photographs.
The deceptive hobby of badge collecting is also covered, as are the reproduction badges and fake badges of today. Just the size of the book, 414 pages, makes this one of the largest books ever written on the state trooper and the departments. The author took nearly two years to research and complete this outstanding state police and highway patrol reference guide. Detailed information was provided by the departments, the badge and patch manufacturers, serious collectors, and the state troopers of today. Mauldin was the author and publisher of the old State Police & State Highway Patrol Badge Guide, now out of print after serving serious collectors and the movie producers all over the world with FIVE editions.
Publisher Description
STATE TROOPERS of AMERICA offers details in picture and in word description about past and present state police and highway patrol badges, patches, and uniforms. There is a chapter on hallmarks and maker-marks, how to photograph badges and so on. In addition to all of the many photographs, there is also a history section in the state chapters, telling you the background of each department, and showing many of the first badges, motorcycles, cars and uniforms. The movie and TV producers use this book because it allows them to "get it right" when they film anything that relates to a state trooper of today or yesterday.
Reader Reviews
This book provides a large amount of detailed information on the badges, patches, head gear and vehicles of America's state troopers. To a collector of state officer memorabilia this book would be the current standard reference on the subject. However, it goes beyond that. For the general state police history or law enforcement buff the book fills the bill nicely as it traces the organizational origins of America's 'Road Law', agency by agency across the nation. The book is an important state law enforcement guide with a historical prospective geared for both the collector and those with an interest in state law enforcement history.
