On behalf of the sworn, civilian, and retired membership, welcome to our organization. We are a group of current and former law enforcement officers and first responders that have formed a bond from the profession. Many in our organization are retired state troopers. Our membership includes former troopers, civilian employees, police dispatchers, and local citizens that help support the mission. Since our inception in 1960, the Maryland State Police Alumni Association, MSPAA, has supported the department in its mission. This includes volunteer efforts at events, fundraisers, physical and monetary support. 

We actively report upcoming events, legal issues in the legislature, health and welfare concerns, safety and sustainability for our active troopers, and recruiting the next generation of police employees and troopers for the department. We also report the loss of our retirees when they take the journey home.

The MSPAA has been directly involved in the design and installation of a memorial to honor our fallen heroes. This includes a Quadrangle monument with the names of our fallen officers that were killed in the line of duty. The Memorial is located on the grounds of the Maryland State Police Headquarters in Pikesville, Md. There is a memorial to honor two of our troopers that served during WWII. These two veterans lost their life heroically during the war effort. A retired trooper’s legacy is remembered by the Tom Ingram Walk of Honor.  This continues to be a living tribute to a great man that loved his state and his fellow troopers. Members can purchase an engraved brick that paves a pathway to our law enforcement memorial. Other projects include supporting a Maryland State Police K9 Cemetery, located at the Easton Barrack.  Our K-9 heroes are honored here. 

The Alumni Association has rendered success with the relocation of our museum. Originally, the museum was housed in the former G building on the MSP compound. Environmental conditions forced the museum to close and be relocated in a cleaner, safer environment. The MSPAA accepted the challenge which resulted in a $300,000 fundraising project to renovated the old military arsenal near the Executive building.  We continue to work toward improvements and additions to our museum. The combined efforts of the MSPAA and the department has resulted in a plan to “tell the story” of the department through the decades. Our history begins in the 1920’s and continues today. 

As you enter the museum you will notice the formation of our Honorary Wall. This tile project offers a place of remembrance, tribute, legacy, and honor. Your name engraved on the wall is the first impression as you enter the Museum. All proceeds directly go to improvements and additions to the museum. The second Honorary Wall is currently available for your name or the name of one of your MSP heroes, civilian or sworn. Applications are available on this website. Our plan is to complete the second wall in 2025 and have available for display by our 105th Anniversary. Your donation to this project is fully tax deductible under IRS rules under a 501 (c) 3 non-profit organization.

We appreciate your opinions, time, talents, and monetary support to the museum and other projects that benefit our legacy and history within the department. The MSPAA continue to honor our past contributions to the department and actively strive for the success of our troopers and their work environment.

Blessed are the Peacemakers for they are called the children of God.  (Matthew 5:7)
