Uniform and Rank Structure
The uniform worn by PSP troopers is unique within Pennsylvania. In January 1988, the State Police changed the color of its uniforms from all green to all grey, PSP troopers wore dark grey uniforms that confused them with Pennsylvania State Constables. By state law, no municipal (city, borough, or township) police department can wear the same exact uniform or color configuration as that of the PSP.

For this blank cold, this sadness without cause.

No turban walks across the lessened floors.
The greenhouse never so badly needed paint.”
