| And yes they are a small dept. but they are considered the best of the best when it comes to state agencies. |
| The odds are definitely against us, but you'd never know unless you try. |

For those of you not from RI, RISP has been extremely successful in impressing on the public an image of perfection, utmost discipline, and extreme "no bullshitedness". They advertise as being absolutely a cut above the rest by a wide margin. Whether or not this is true can be up for debate. They are probably the most paramilitary (in the true sense of the word) state police organization in the country. Troopers salute their superiors all day. They come in all heights, but are all absolutely solid. They look like Marine Corps drill sgts, and I mean nearly ALL of them. In a state where corruption has run rampant through nearly all government departments including MANY PD's, the RISP have remained virtually impervious to that kind of behavior, even when it was endorsed by past mayors and governors. Their detective division is extremely squared away, constantly wiretapping drug rings, corrupt politicians and the mob. They work only with the AG and US Attorney - no city solicitor prosecutions. Their selection process is extremely vigorous, and competition is extreme to say the least. They are looking for people with nearly spotless backgrounds, that includes driving history and credit. Even if you do make it through the academy, you may still be placed on a reserve list. In RI you can always tell an off duty trooper by the way they stand and their build. Best of the best? Maybe. Totally different plane of LE? Definitely. |
