Source -- Journal and Register of Governor’s Executive Council July 23, 1925

Note -- These men gathered in Augusta on July 25, 1925, two days after their names had been approved by the Governor's Executive Council.  The 60 men presented their bonds and were commissioned. Most of these men were new to the force, but several were members of the State Highway Police from the years 1921 to 1925 and continued with the new department. Although the official name, by statute, was "State Highway Police" and the men were referred to as "officers, patrolmen or members", the terms are synonymous with State Police and State Trooper. In 1935, legislation was adopted officially changing the name of the department to State Police.
