[edit] Hat Discussion
The whole: two chinstraps on the hat make the uniforms look like S.S. uniforms... I don't get it. In the context of the page's history it doesn't seem like vandalism, but I'm not sure that making such a loaded comparison without a reference to back it up adds to the article.

- When I started this page I did not discuss the uniforms per se although I think it is helpful, however, I agree about the S.S. comparison and I think it should be removed.Editcml 20:59, 17 January 2006 (UTC)
- The S.S. comparison was made again and I removed it since it really is very loaded and not needed. Editcml 15:15, 17 April 2006 (UTC) Discuss further if needed.
"A saucer-shaped cap (as opposed to a "Smokey Bear" hat worn in Delaware and Pennsylvania and a "Calvary" hat in New York) is worn". I'm not sure what this means. Does it just mean they wear a perfectly normal peaked cap? -- Necrothesp 12:42, 16 January 2006 (UTC)
- Without pictures of the three hats in question it is difficult to understand the differences. The point it makes is valid though. NJSP does have a unique hat compared to other state police.Editcml 20:59, 17 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Acadamy Section?
I think the article needs a section about the State Police acadamy would anybody like to take that task on? Editcml 13:47, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Uniform Disagreement
There seems to be a disagreement as to the correct colors for the winter uniform. The old edit says the tie is black and the shirt is white, but a recent edit says the tie is blue and the shirt is light blue. Which is correct? Based upon the pictures on the NJSP website I would say black and white is correct.Discuss. --Editcml 14:02, 20 November 2006 (UTC)
- After revewing pictures on the NJSP website, especially the Command Staff picturesthat shows the winter dress, I changed the shirt and tie color back to white and black. The shirt and tie colors appear, at least to me, to be a white shirt with a black tie. Discuss if needed.
