Association of Former New Jersey State Troopers

Established in late 1959, and incorporated in the State of New Jersey as what’s known as a 501(c)(7), “Fraternal, Social Organization,” the Association’s purpose was and remains to: (a) promote the preservation of friendship and loyalty among the members; (b) promote an active interest in good government and Civic affairs; to inspire respect for law; to promote patriotism; to work for and encourage high standards for the betterment of law enforcement agencies; and (c) to promote and further the interests of the New Jersey State Police organization.

Fraternal gestures of aid and consolation during times of need have always been our standard; but underlying everything is our belief that “Once a Trooper, Always a Trooper” is paramount, and although retired or separated from State Police service, we are all still part of “The Outfit.

Our Mission

The Mission of the Association of Former New Jersey State Troopers, Inc., is to continue the camaraderie of retired Jersey Troopers while offering the combined knowledge, experience, and moral support of its members to former Troopers and the New Jersey State Police. Since its early days, the Association has grown to become an advocate for its members and survivors, seeking to preserve and improve benefits in an everchanging economy. It has continued to support the State Police, not only in carrying out its mission in the law enforcement field, but also to maintain that tradition of "State Police Family," by supporting the many social functions that are intended to reinforce that spirit. The Association maintains the belief that "Once a Trooper, Always a Trooper" is paramount, and although retired or separated from State Police service, we are all still a part of "The Outfit."
