I have read this book many times over the years. The stories told reflect greatly upon the storied past of the New Jersey State Police and the sacrifices that have been made from the beginning up to the date of publication. Proud to be a part of the Blue and Gold.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good book, but gets a little slow, September 15, 1999

By A Customer

This book was givin to me by my Father who recieved it from Ret. Col. Dentino. Recently grdauating from the 52nd Trooper Youth Week class run by the NJ State Police, I saw how diverse and highly trained NJ Troopers are. It does give a good history of the NJSP, but after reading half the book, the stories don't seem to be as interesting. If you are interested in the NJSP, this is the book for you, but don't expect to pick it up twice and finsih it.

Coakley did his best to include an overview of the relevant aspects of New Jersey State Police history and lore.Any one topic of the book deserves a book in and of itself.Well done and well worth reading.It reminded me of what it took to become the best of the best.
