Histori
MSP was founded by Governor John A. Andrew when he signed a law that created the Constabulary State on May 16, 1865. This legislative act to "establish a State Police," established the first state enforcement agency in the country. The first leader of the State Police was a General King. The title may have been obtained during the American Civil War. The agency remained small and somewhat unofficial until 1921, when the MSP was enlarged to comprise 50 officers stationed in state-wide barracks with a primary mission to provide law enforcement to rural areas not served by local police agencies. This law enforcement mission is carried out by police on horses, usually, and in motor cars in areas with improved roads. MSP enlarges its mission to handle major vehicle regulations on interstate highways and limited access to the Commonwealth after their mid-century development; during this period, also established a presence in protecting Logan International Airport.
For much of the 20th century, MSP was organized along militarized lines with great emphasis on the role of barracks, spartan working conditions, and uniformity in internal appearance and culture. To date, MSP maintains one of the most stringent regimens for physical size requirements for applicants. Efforts are being made at this time to make departments more diverse, as well as more inclusive of women and LGBT officers.
The history of the institution is being researched and preserved for the opening of 2010 from the Massachusetts State Police Museum and Learning Center. The museum is made possible by funding troops and MSP employees. The museum will be located on the site of a former C2 Force barracks in Grafton. Currently there is a temporary museum in the barracks until construction is completed. The exhibit planned for the museum is
- Restored 1931, 1941, 1951 Ford Cruiser
- Motorcycles, including Harley Davidson in 1963
- State Police Weapon (past & present)
- Uniforms, hats, and historical artifacts
- Harvard riot photos and melee equipment
- Installed police equipment and other items related to Equine
- Original teletype machine
- The first computer used by the State Police department
- Daily logs of historic stations
- Photo of President John F. Kennedy and memorabilia
- Nostalgia badges and patches
Since the beginning of the MSP, 32 troops have been killed in carrying out their duties. The earliest death occurred in 1909 and the last death is March 16, 2016.
In 2011 the troops have started bringing Smith & amp; Wesson M & amp; P at.45 ACP. Soldiers previously brought SIG Sauer P226 DAK (Double-Action Kellerman) in.40 S & amp; W, before they took out SIG Sauer P226 in 9mm from the early 1990s. During the 1980s.357 Magnum Smith & amp; Wesson Model 65 is issued to troops. The free duties and special tasks of different weapons were issued and during the 1980s the common weapon was.38 Special Smith & Wesson Bodyguard Pistol. During the 1960s and 1970s, MSP did issue Walther KDP as a special assignment weapon.

Consolidation of state controlled police
In 1992, the former Massachusetts Department of Public Safety - the State Police Division, the Massachusetts Registry of the Motor Vehicle Police, the Massachusetts Police, and the Metropolitan District Commission (MDC) (commonly known as the Metropolitan Police) merged to form what is now known as the Department of Police Country (an agency within the Public Security Executive Office, different from the Department of Public Security). The four institutions were officially disappeared on 1 July 1992. Special uniforms and seals from the previous Division of the State Police will be retained by the newly formed State Police Department. Corporal ranks and staff sergeants are not taken to new agents. The Massachusetts Environmental Police remains a separate entity under the Department of Fisheries, Wildlife, and Environmental Law Enforcement, until it becomes a separate departmental office under the Executive Office of Renewable Energy and Environmental Affairs. Lately, there is a political debate about state police joining the MBTA Transit Police.

Standard & amp; Training
Recruitment and in-service training for Massachusetts State Police takes place at the MSP academy located in central Massachusetts at 340 West Brookfield Road in New Braintree. Prior to the 1992 merger, the State Police Academy Training Division was located in Framingham. This facility is now the headquarters of the State Police Department.
Being a cop is a competitive process. Approximately 14,000 men and women took a written entrance exam in June 2002. Of these, only a few hundred were elected to become MSP members. Upon receiving a conditional job offer, recruitment must go through 24 weeks paramilitary training as part of the Training Forces of Recruitment (RTT). Until April 2009, the State Police no longer conducted their own checks for appointments to the department. The State Police now produces a list of candidates from candidates who take the Massachusetts Police Civilian police checks that choose to be considered for appointment to the State Police; this is the same checks used by many city departments and MBTA.
On October 17, 2011, the RTT-80 began to be trained. This is first class in more than five years. During 24 weeks of training, recruitment stayed at the academy Monday through Friday. The 80th RTT class begins with 250 trainees, adding 25 trainees in the first two weeks of training while others leave the program. Their day starts at 5:30 am and lasts until 8 pm. with lights around 9:30 pm. Recruiters attend more than 98 academic classes and must pass 10 cumulative exams with a 70% graduation score. Together with the class, employees should take part in daily physical regiments such as running and lifting weights. The 80th RTT resulted in a record of 208 new troopers on March 9, 2012.
The academy takes a toll both mentally and physically on recruiting, and many recruits do not make it through it. The typical academic washing rate is about 28-30%. For example, when the 77th RTT started in November 2004, there were 180 recruits. During the first week, 44 recruits went out and 34 new members had to be added. At the end of 26 weeks, only 137 were graduated.
Now, during the 83rd RTT, there is nothing to refill the academy class. The 83rd RTT starts with 247 soldiers and is expected to pass around 175 January 2018.
The Academy also hosts the Massachusetts State Student Police Program twice a year. The Student Trooper program is an intensive one-week residential learning experience for young adults, aged 15 to 17 years.
Demographics
In June 2000, the Massachusetts State Police had the following demographics:
- Men: 91%
- Women: 9%
- White: 89%
- African-American/Black: 11%
MSP is one of several US State Police Departments where the percentage of African American officers (11%) is significantly larger than the state population (6.97%).
Compensation
By 2017, the average Massachusetts State Police paying for state police is $ 145,413, with three poles earning over $ 300,000, and 245 troopers (12% of the workforce) earning over $ 200,000. The wage payment of the troops is added by working out some details, directing traffic, overtime shifts, or providing security at special occasions.
Additional benefits and benefits
Along with their basic salary and overtime, the troops have other benefits to include:
- The troops receive a hazard bonus payment of $ 700 per year.
- Troopers traveling more than 75 miles or more miles on a single trip from home receive $ 75 per week.
- State police employees who work in civilian clothes for 10 days or more each calendar month receive $ 42.50 per month.
- State police officers who work five working days are compensated with an additional 17 days off per year. This time is to align with employees who work four days on duty, then get two days off.
Controversy
Dangerous Scandals State Police Academy
In September 2005, the investigation began after alleged illegal hazing at the State Police Training Academy was brought to light. During the investigation, it was learned that 43 different members of the 78th army had been hospitalized between July and September due to various injuries. In addition to medical problems, the investigation found several incidents prohibited bans by instructors and staff, including forcing recruiters to use recruiting other dirty clothing on their heads, instructors recruiting billboards by holding their heads under water in toilet bowls and refusing to allow recruits to use bathroom when needed. As a result of the investigation, three officers were removed from their positions, including the Academy Commander, Lieutenant Richard Lane of Sterling, MA. Other derived instructors include Troopers Eric Baldwin and Paul Weinshenk. An independent review of six months, led by former Essex District Attorney Kevin M. Burke found that under the post of Lt. Lane, academy leadership was hit by "confusion, inadequate communication and poor supervision of training operations." As a result, the report said, the academy's training staff themselves were plagued by "role conflict, confusion, uncertainty and ineffective communication." Recruitment training programs are effectively closed, with the next class not graduating until 2012.
Sgt. Brian O'Hare's scandal
In February 2006, a respected state police sergeant, Brian O'Hare, was arrested by the Federal Bureau of Investigation after asking what he thought was a minor for sex, who was actually an undercover FBI agent. O'Hare was fired from state police and was then sentenced to five years in federal prison.
Allegations of internal racial discrimination
In March 2017, the Boston Globe reported on allegations of discrimination within the State Police against the country's minority forces.
Alli Bibaud scandal
In October 2017, the report of the arrest of a state police officer against the judge's daughter Alli Bibaud was changed to remove embarrassing and incriminating statements ("Do You Know How Many People Should I Hit For That") about how he acquired the heroin he suspected possessed. TurtleboySports, an online blog, lists "many" troops as sources, alleges that the report was changed because Dudley District Court Judge Tim Bibaud summoned District Attorney Joseph Early and Colonel Richard McKeon, who in turn directed Major Susan Anderson to remove the statement.. On November 7, 2017, the police ordered to change his report, Ryan Sceviour, sued the state police chief for the disciplinary reversal he received for including embarrassing and incriminating statements in his report, as well as official apologies, attorney fees, and punitive damages. On 11 November 2017, Colonel Richard McKeon retired in the midst of the scandal.
The Leigha Genduso scandal
In February 2018, a popular online news blog, Turtleboysports.com, broke the story that Trooper Leigha Genduso, who was assigned to the K-9 unit, was employed by state police despite testifying during a grand jury process targeting his ex-girlfriend. , before he was hired as the first civilian officer and then state police, that he smoked marijuana every day, sold cannabis in up to 10 pounds at once, took various other prescription medications that were not prescribed to him, and laundered money from his ex-boyfriend's drug profits. There is also information from "many sources" that Genduso's boyfriend is at work, then-Major Lieutenant-Colonel Daniel Risteen, using his influence to get good treatment and a very desirable task usually only offered to troops with years of seniority.
On February 23, 2018, Lieutenant Colonel Risteen suddenly retired from state police.
Overtime probe theft
On March 20, 2018, Attorney General Maura Healey announced that his office was reviewing "a clear distinction between actual overtime and patrol," by 21 troops of the Troop E state. Of 21 state troopers, 19 active, one retired last year, and another one, Trooper Matthew Sheehan, has been suspended for the racist message he posted online. Colonel Kerry Gilpin spoke to the media and said one of the suspected offenders entered as many as 100 shifts without exhibits during 2016.
On April 2, 2018, Governor Baker announced the removal of E Force due to an ongoing overtime investigation that found dozens of active and former police members allegedly doing overtime shifts they did not work on. State Police Colonel Kerry Gilpin also announced that the location of State Police cruisers will be tracked by Global Positioning System (GPS) technology known as Automatic Locator technology vehicles, and state police will also develop camera body programs.
Hidden payroll data
On March 26, 2018, the Boston Globe reported that the payroll records for the Massachusetts 140-trooper F Troops, which provides law enforcement and security for all Massachusetts Port Authority properties, have been hidden from public view and not submitted. with state financial supervisors for several years. Nearly 80 percent of the troops assigned to F Troop earned more than the Governor of Massachusetts, Charlie Baker. Pay for troops coming from the Port Authority of Massachusetts, but the police police are employees of the Massachusetts State Police and the operation is overseen by the National Police commander.
After the Boston Globe report came out, Governor Baker said that the act of not disclosing years of payroll records for F Army of the State Police was "clearly deliberate," and State Supervisor Thomas Shack demanded to know if other state agencies failed to disclose payroll records others.
On March 30, 2018, the Globe reported that F Troop detector Lieutenant Thomas Coffey earned more than $ 300,000 annually between 2015 and 2017. Coffey is the highest permanent employee of the Massachusetts State Police for 2014-2016.
In popular culture
- Matt Damon plays a corrupt troop that infiltrated the MSP for Mob in The Departed (2006). Mark Wahlberg, Martin Sheen, Alec Baldwin, Anthony Anderson and Leonardo DiCaprio all described troops in the Special Investigation Unit (DiCaprio as a disguise). Director Martin Scorsese asked the MSP whether he could use logos, badges, and actual color schemes on uniforms and cruisers, but was rejected. Ben Benson's novel series featuring Massachusetts State Troopers such as Wade Paris High-level Detective Chief and rookie Trooper Ralph Lindsey, appearing mostly in the 1950s, were one of the earliest examples of police procedures.
- When Benson died, another author, Roy Stratton (grandson of Charles Dickens) started a new series on MSP for the same publisher, Mill-Morrow, featuring Trooper Scott Gregory; but the series ended only after two books.
- This agency serves as a partial arrangement for Dennis Lehane's novel Mystic River and the film version, where the characters played by Kevin Bacon and Laurence Fishburne are MSP detectives.
- The character of Robert B. Parker Spenser is said to have been with the MSP, in particular as a detective at the Suffolk County District Prosecutor's office. He often interacts with the MSP murder detective named Captain Healy (who also appears in Jesse Stone's novel) and works with MSP police named Brian Lundquist in the Pale Kings and Princes novels.
- An MSP cruiser stops at the Wordloaf Conference on "Simpeons" episode of "Moe'N'a Lisa", after chasing Simpsons to Vermont (11:50 pm in the episode).
- The famous Norman Rockwell painting The Runaway portrays the Massachusetts State Trooper and a boy at the lunch counter. Rockwell lived in Massachusetts for most of his life. Troop MSP who is actually Dick Clemens is a Trooper depicted in the painting. The name of the boy is Edward Locke.
- In Edge of Darkness , the character Ray Winstone was killed by Trooper State of Massachusetts.
- In R.I.P.D. , the MSP Air Wing helicopter took part in the attack in which the character Ryan Reynolds was killed.
- In Patriots Day , an MSP policeman stood guard over Martin Richard's corpse until he could be taken away by ambulance, at which point he saluted. Other troops appeared sporadically throughout the film, and the commander at the time of Colonel Timothy Alben was a character in it depicted by Charles Luise but simply credited as "Massachusetts State Police Colonel."
