Why do they need the state trooper detail ?
- Thread starter Plum Street
- Start date
Too make Schiano look thin and healthy.Better to see state troopers than that little, fat guy who used to always be at Schiano's side in his first go round. Never understood what his job was
I should advise you that NJSP don't get paid for what they usually do, it's for what they might have to do !
Please stop with the nonsense. It is the same at every stadium and venue.
The SP detail is a volunteer group and is completely paid for by the football program. GS pays for the detail to travel out of his own pocket.

Who pays for Seal Team 6 inside the stadium in full battle fatigue's complete with body amour, M-16, extra magazines and sunglasses(for the I'm cool effect)?
Add in a couple grenades and they're all ready for Afghanistan.
When I was in the height minimum 5' 8".
I rode with one guy on the Turnpike that was that height on midnight tours.
So with bench seats I had to drive the whole 8 hours.
So I would wait till it was raining and we had our rain gear on. Nobody wore seat belts in those days.
He would fall asleep sometimes as I was making a loop of our patrol area.
I would wait till I knew he was out and go up over 100 MPH, check to make sure no other cars were around and slam on the brakes. He would slide off the bench seat into the foot well since his feet couldn't reach the front wall. "Damn it Big Will, knock it off !"

This sounds like a topic we should have been talking about the past 4 years when.......there was nothing else to talk about.
So what do we need to do to get a win on Saturday?

Wait, if it's a volunteer group than what is the FB program paying for? That kinda defeats the volunteer part no?
I’m sure unofficially it’s because their union is very strong and you don’t mess with a troopers OT’ haha.
There's a requirement for police to be aside a football coach somewhere? No.
Real bottom line. Stupid waste of resources and money.
Not really, the troopers are working, so they get paid. It’s “volunteer” in that the troopers “sign up” for the duty and aren’t assigned whether they want it or not.
Google is your friend. This ain't breaking news.

Who pays for coaches’ personal police protection?
Frank Beamer didn't strike me as a guy who needed any help protecting himself, but still...
On behalf of my employer I've hired police officers from local jurisdictions to provide security for much smaller events than a Big Ten football game.

One day in the WVU Stadium a local fan asked who the fellows were in the light blue jackets and navy pants. I told him NJ State Troopers. He responded "Dang, that is a real sharp uniform."
I'm not saying the WV State Police uniform is ugly, but it could easily be mistaken for a park ranger's outfit.
NJSP uniform was designed after the German officers of WW1 that Norman Schwarzkopf encountered before becoming the 1st superintendent in 1921
The all green of WV isn’t very common in the north east but I’ve have seen in several states across the country. Delaware, Massachusetts and PA SP uniforms always looked nice to me.
He was reportedly proud of his German forebears but in Jersey Troopers: A Fifty Year History of the New Jersey State Police it was more about harkening back to his days at West Point and his service in the American Army.
The Sam Brown Belt to cause one to "brace" or stand erect.
The dress blouse (jacket) over the shirt.
The hat was a direct copy of the officer's service cap popularized by Pershing in WWI replacing the older campaign style hat worn by the army previously.
The blue with yellow trim was a nod to the "blue and buff" which were the colors of the New Jersey regiments in Washington's Revolutionary Army.
It's a TRADITION. The Royal Guard etc.It looks and is impressive.Have always accepted it as part of what is.
Frankly, I just think it makes sense. The Rutgers head coach, and especially Schiano, is a valuable commodity and deserves the protection during games where things can go haywire.
and hand picked State Troopers also
make sense because of their level of professionalism and their presence. And they become accustomed to traveling with the Team.
as for this year with limited or no fans, arguably Schiano could dispose of the protection, but if I were him I wouldn’t. I’d make damn sure the SP knew how much I valued them and appreciated them and would keep them on to send that signal.

Since 9/11 and Sandy Hook (where I had/have 3 Grandchildren attending that school in Conn), I am all in favor of having ARMED professional Law Enforcement at schools and events at schools where large crowds are assembled.
Certainly the NJSP are one of the Standards for 'professionalism'.
After all the Trooper that took out that 'fan' running on the field at the Jets game made a form open field tackle and didn't even lose his 'cover'.
