Jersey Troopers II chronicles the continuing patrol of the New Jersey State Police and its preeminent Outfit of Jersey Troopers from 1971 through 2006, a thirty-five year era fraught with an evolution of social change and unparalleled technological advancements.
This is an in-depth record of many noteworthy cases and events that impacted not only Jersey Troopers, but the entire law enforcement community at a time filled with intrigue and passion that revolved around an ever-changing world, harboring a soring criminal element and fanatical terrorism. Its a time marked with tragic losses and hostilities, when diversified services and progressive leadership brought a once rural state constabulary into the 21st Century as a model of modern policing.
These are the real stories of Jersey Troopers told by a Jersey Trooper.

The History

Jersey Troopers II serves as the continuing saga of the New Jersey State Police and its preeminent Outfit of Jersey Troopers.  As the title denotes, Jersey Troopers II picks up where the original story ended in 1971 with the first published book written by Sergeant Leo J. Coakley, titled, Jersey Troopers: A Fifty Year History of the New Jersey State Police.  Together, these two books cover an 85 year history of our esteemed State Constabulary, a history well worth the read.  Copies are readily available at Amazon.com and via my website www.jerseytroopersii.com.  All proceeds from sales derived from my website go toward establishing an educational fund to support the children of deceased or disabled Jersey Troopers.  Enjoy our history!
