I just want to start off and say that I was born, and lived most of my life, in New Jersey. About 3 years ago, I moved up to Maine. I'm more of a city guy, but I have friends up here, and it's not to bad of a place to be.
I've had several ride-along's with the Maine State Police. I love the way they operate. A lot of follow-up and criminal investigation, but they still put the same amount of effort into effectively finding crime, being pro-active, and such like that.
Before I had a ride-along with the M.S.P, I thought the primary job of a Trooper was to sit on the interstate and monitor traffic. I had no idea how deep their job actually gets.
What i'm wondering is, do the NJ State Troopers do the same thing? I'd imagine the job is different in many ways, but is it still the same concept? I've always invisioned moving back to NJ at some point, but I love the way the Maine Troopers operate. I just don't know if the laid-back, not-very-busy type of environment would be my nature. I like being busy, with lots of stuff to do all the time.
If anyone has any advice, please let me know.
