Michigan Looks to Add 150 State Police for Freeways
The Michigan traffic safety committee urges boosting state police strength on expressways to curb rising deaths and injuries. Chief Frederick J. Serra of Mount Morice says expanding expressways and aiding other agencies justify adding 150 troopers, bringing authorized strength to 1,305 out of 1,155. The request, part of next fiscal year budget, follows a 1956 expansion and ongoing patrol shortfall with 725 troopers available in 1962.
