Picked to organize the New Jersey
State Police in 1921, at the age of
just 25, he drew on his experience
as a West Point cadet and WWI
cavalry officer under General
Pershing.

This past December, a visitor to
the archives handed Falzini a
palm-sized brass tag etched with
Schwarzkopf 's name. It had been
found in a field next to the
Lindbergh property.
SCHWARZKOPF'S SIDEARM
e pilot strong-arms the police.
"The gun would have been issued to Schwarzkopf,
[6]
along with his badge, which is
No. 1. His father designed the badge — he was a jeweler up in Newark. The three
points stand for honor, duty, and fidelity, the code state troopers still live by today.
He moved his personal headquarters to Lindbergh's house
[7]
from downtown
Trenton and spent three years on the case. But the fact is Schwarzkopf allowed
Lindbergh to basically run the investigation. It's hard to believe.
Nobody today can
begin to comprehend Lindbergh, the power of Lindbergh back then."
