All records in this collection were created by the Connecticut State Police. The State Police was established in 1903 by the Connecticut General Assembly with the appointment of five state police commissioners and the first superintendent. In 1905, the superintendent of the State Police also became the State Fire Marshall. Over the years, the General Assembly has enacted many laws changing the organization, size and duties of the State Police Department. Today, the State Police is part of the Department of Public Safety, which was established in 1979. Records in this collection include State Police investigation files, Commissioner Long's administrative files for 1990-91, and case books kept by Troop A and Troop E.
