Who We Are

The Maryland Troopers Association was organized in 1979 for the purpose of advancing the principles of professionalism in law enforcement and to facilitate a meaningful dialogue between employees and the Administration concerning issues of mutual concern.  

This Association contributes significantly to protecting the security of troopers, civilian MSP personnel and retirees by providing a benefit package that addresses legislative representation in matters of public safety, legal representation, education and training scholarships, and death relief.

The year 2017 membership of the MTA stands at approximately 2,629 of which 1,120 are active members and 1,509 are retirees.  To facilitate the effective management and participation of our members, the MTA has twelve Lodges located throughout the State of Maryland.  Please visit our lodges section for more detailed information concerning the lodges.

Maryland State Police Emblem

Maryland State Police Emblem

The current emblem of the Maryland State Police was adopted in 1950. It was designed by Mr. Edwin Tunis, a well-known artist from Maryland, and is an adaptation of the shield in the State of Maryland Seal. The shield bears the Arms of the Calvert and Crossland families. Calvert was the family name of the Lords Baltimore who founded Maryland. Crossland was the family of the mother of the first Lord Baltimore.

The black and gold colors are the Baltimore Arms. The red and silver colors are the Crossland Arms. The Maryland Flag bears the same Arms.
