Happy Birthday to the Michigan State Police, which was created 99 years ago today.
The director says the focus is on next year and the launch of the One Year to 100 campaign that allows troopers to reflect on the history and traditions as well as how the department has evolved into a agency that provides statewide policing services.
The roots of the Michigan State Police date back to World War One when the department began as a temporary, wartime emergency force for the purpose of domestic security.
