Saluting the First Black State Troopers in America
The History Committee has began to collect biographies, pictures and articles pertaining to America’s First Black State Troopers. This project began in April of 2008 and will be highlighted during the 2010 Summer Training Conference when we celebrate the NBSTC’s 25th Year Anniversary. The committee will also be researching key legislation which provided their opportunity to serve. The committee plans to contact each state’s Department of Public Safety and other national black law enforcement organizations as a means of obtaining information and bring awareness to the project.
Also, big thumbs up to President Guy Packwood and the New Jersey Chapter who took the opportunity to honor Trooper Paul McLemore, New Jersey’s First Black State Trooper. The event took place on September 13, 2008. Trooper McLemore was presented an NBSTC Resolution for his service. The well- attended event also doubled as a rally point to recruit members into the New Jersey Chapter.
