In
Recognition of the 105th Anniversary of the Pennsylvania State Police |
|
|
Sunday, May 2, 2010,
will mark three significant events in the history of the Pennsylvania State Police.
They are the 105th Anniversary of the Department, the 50th
Anniversary of the first cadet class to undergo training at the State Police Academy
and the 5th Anniversary of the ground breaking for the State Police Museum
(PSP-HEMC) located adjacent to the Academy.
To commemorate these events, a memorial service will be conducted by the Department at the
Academy at 1100 hours to honor those 93 members killed in the line of duty since our
creation in 1905.
At the conclusion of the service, a brief ribbon cutting ceremony will be conducted in the
Academy and a group photo taken of the members of the first Academy class. Members of the
January 1960 class are therefore encouraged to attend the service and participate in the
group photograph. Tours, a cook out, and Museum open house hosted by PSP-HEMC will follow
the ribbon cutting and photo. In addition to being able to visit our Museum and gift shop,
you will also be able to view various State Police historical photographs and artifacts on
display including a 1972 Plymouth Fury II, the 1973 Tijuana Taxi and a fully restored
replica of the Model T Rodeo Clown Car. The Museum will also present a power point lecture
on the evolution of State Police training since 1921, complete with never before seen
historical photographs.
Events at the museum will begin at 1:00pm and will conclude around 5:00pm. In order to
