Rotarian and retired State Trooper, John Rosenberger, provided a video history of the Pennsylvania State Police at the July 28th Rotary luncheon meeting.
The Pennsylvania State Police was the first police force in the U. S. founded in 1905 by order of Governor Samuel Pennypacker, by signing Senate Bill 278 on May 2, 1905 to regain peace and order. The bill was signed in response to the Great Anthracite Strike of 1902 where 147,000 ethnically diverse miners of eastern Pennsylvania tried to gain operator recognition of the United Mine Workers increased wages, and improved working conditions. The Pennsylvania State Police is a full-service law enforcement agency which handles both traffic and criminal law enforcement.
