Biographical History

This collection chronicles the beginnings of the Maryland State Troopers and one of its first inductees, Arthur Jones.  Jones was born in Cambridge, MD around 1896.  Upon hearing of a new law enforcement unit being form in 1921, he traveled to Baltimore.  After a month-long training course that included wrestling and motorcycle training, this first class of recruits graduated in February 1921.  He served more than 50 years with the Maryland State Troopers retiring in 1971.
