Greetings Troops:

"The State Trooper" Net Ring was created on January 18, 1998.  I am Senior Sergeant Terry Martin, of the Vermont State Police.  In January 1994, I retired from 30 years in the Criminal Justice System. That's why you see this particular color scheme here.  Green and gold are both the State of Vermont and the VSP official colors.

I hope you will give strong consideration to joining "The State Trooper" Net Ring. Joining will connect you, your site, and family to a "Family of Troops" and supporter sites across this nation and the world!

For my purposes and in respect for the "Old and New Officers and Troops" the term "The State Trooper" is meant to be synonymous with "Trooper, Highway Patrolman, Highway Patrolwoman, Patrol Officer, State Patrolman, State Patrolwoman, State Patrol, State Police, State Policeman, and State Policewoman.
PLEASE read: Criteria #1 and then the DISCLAIMER before continuing and click on the^Top  to return here.
We're were "152 Members" Strong until Yahoo took over. Then a new ring took them over. I was not happy with what they had to offer so I searched around and found RingSurf. This NEW Ring is much better and goes back to the automated and easier format! 

IF you're an Previous Member, be sure to re-enlist!  You'll be sent an new ID, much like the old system.

	Take Care and Be Safe Brothers and Sisters,

As a Member of "The State Trooper" Net Ring, you should remember that you are responsible for making the appropriate changes and information to your site. (URL, your e-mail address, site description, or password). You will need to return to this section to edit your site's attributes.  You should therefore "Bookmark" this page for easy access. Enter your Site ID and password below:

It is very bothersome to ring members and surfers to cycle through net rings and hit a blank page of a site no longer on the web or a site that does not have its Net Ring Graphic to continue from. ALSO, it is IMPORTANT that you put "The State Trooper" Net Ring Graphic (code) on the same page that you put as being your site location and you may wish to consider (if it's not your front page) putting a link from there to your front page, so that others can get there?

That's why The Net Ring Administration developed a utility to let me test the integrity of "The State Trooper" Ring. This utility checks every member of the ring to make sure their pages are still up and that the pages contain the required Ring HTML. When I find that a page is found lacking in any area - I will e-mail the owner of the page to inform them of the problem and see if there is anything I can do to help.

You will have 7 days, from the date that my warning was sent, to correct the problem or inform me of when the corrections should be expected. If no answer is received the page will be removed from the ring. You "may" be added back in later upon request on reconfirmation of site content.

Again, if you have any questions or need help please e-mail me right a way.

It is my intention and purpose to provide a Professional Net Ring that contains sites that all members of the family, especially kids, and others may come to, surf from and not worry about what the content is.

Site Description:

You will receive, by E-mail, the HTML Code to place on your page.

• For you ease, all the information you entered on the sign-up page, plus your SITE ID will be automatically included in the code for you! This will save you a lot of the old modification that use to happen!
• Highlight, copy and paste that code to your page: (NOTE: It must be pasted using the "Edit HTML" )
• PLEASE feel free to change the background colors and lettering to match your page, BUT try to maintain the integrity of the graphic size, spacing, and lineage listed below?

REMEMBER, while your Net Ring Graphic will allow "Random Sites" to be viewed and two of
the aforementioned links, YOUR site is only in the queue and has not been added yet until approval.

While this site is a "For Troopers ONLY" (or their equivalent) Net Ring, it is not my intent to present us in a "elitist" manner. It is for the "esprit de corps" that we all should have for own organizations, agencies and departments.

Having seen the "Smorgasbord" of local, county, federal, corrections, CJ and other specialized ring webs, I didn't want to take away from, nor add to them. In fact I'm presently a member of Thirty (plus or minus) other rings right now!  I know that those Ring Masters put a lot of time into their rings wanting to be unique. Instead, I wanted to present an additionally uniquely- fresh Net Ring like this.

"The State Trooper" Net Ring management reserves the right to turn down and take off this ring ANY person or site that does not meet the above Criteria or maintain same without recourse.
