LOVE, PRIDE AND DEDICATION

This plaque is dedicated to eleven former Troopers who met in 1959 with love for the State Police, pride in being a former Trooper, and dedication to perpetuating the high ideals of the New Jersey State Police. After many meetings and much discussion, these eleven former Troopers formed the association known as The Association of Former New Jersey State Troopers.

The eleven former Troopers were:

John Genz #602 President
Douglas Borchard #515 Vice President
Herbert Lauterwald #480 Treasurer
Willaim Lewis #278 Secretary
Jack Zeis #513
Pryor Dougherty #397
Tom Smith #571
Raymond Wirth #451
Al Bolen #457
Edward Shaheen #595
Bernard Ryan #445

Special recognition is given to Trooper Bernard Ryan. Barny’s Irish wit and strong desire to stay together after leaving the service certainly aided in archieving their goal of forming this very proud association.

With love, pride and dedication, combined with The State Police Motto of  “Honor, Duty and Fidelity” our former Troopers will continue the legacy set by these founding members.
