"Sal Maggio has always been known as a 'Trooper's Trooper.' His career experiences from road trooper to Troop Commander allow him to tell this story of the exploits of the men and women who have served in the New Jersey State Police, and explain the growth of 'The Outfit.' Sal is a man of high personal integrity and morals who remained true to those ideals throughout his career. He was my trooper-coach and I learned much from him throughout our fifty year friendship." (Vincent Modarelli, Lt. Colonel, Deputy Superintendent (Ret.) New Jersey State Police)

"Few writers of policing have the courage to explore the underbelly of the profession. Maggio's deep dive into the culture of the New Jersey State Police during a time of profound upheaval is a tribute to the men and women who have followed in his footsteps. He has demonstrated the lengths to which 'The Outfit' has grown to become one of the most educated and technologically-advanced state law enforcement organizations in the country." (Frederick T. Martens, Executive Director (Ret.), Pennsylvania Crime Commission and Lieutenant (Ret.) New Jersey State Police)

“When a writer puts their law enforcement life on paper, especially in this climate, it is a testament to the profession and sincere love for the New Jersey State Police. Captain Maggio shows the internal workings of the Division through his dedicated career as a road trooper. He is one of few that rose through the ranks from Trooper to Captain while assigned to a uniform position for over thirty years. His experiences and wisdom, as described in this book, will be a reference to all Troopers that follow him.” (Nicholas C. Soranno Jr., President of Statewide Security Investigations, Inc., and Captain (Ret.) New Jersey State Police)
