The resolution, SR 933, celebrates the 100th anniversary of the Rhode Island State Police Department, which was established through legislation passed by the Rhode Island General Assembly on April 2, 1925. This historic law aimed to create a disciplined and mobile police organization to address emerging enforcement challenges, particularly those related to the rise of automobile use. The resolution highlights the unique structure of the department, including the direct accountability of the Superintendent to the Governor, and the establishment of a strong organizational foundation through the recruitment of individuals with military experience.

In recognition of this significant milestone, the resolution designates April 2025 as State Police Month in Rhode Island, with April 2 specifically marked as State Police Day. The Rhode Island State Police is acknowledged for its century-long commitment to excellence in law enforcement and its role as a leader in providing training and resources to various law enforcement agencies. The resolution concludes by authorizing the Secretary of State to send a certified copy to the current Superintendent of the Rhode Island State Police Department, Colonel Darnell S. Weaver.

Introduced by Senators Tikoian, Ruggerio, and Lawson, the resolution was introduced on April 1 and is recommended for immediate consideration.
