Pennsylvania State Police, Troop 'B' (1912)
Here is a descriptive picture showing the vastness of the work required of the Pennsylvania State Police. The work is decidedly interesting, as it is out of the ordinary routine of police duty. An interesting scene of Troop 'B' mounted on horseback is shown; the horses gallop and turn sometimes running abreast in a long line, swaying from right to left at the slightest touch of the rein. There are various offenses for which arrest is liable, from illegal fishing and hunting to a dangerous arrest based upon an incident at Florence, Pa., showing the police entering the house under the fire of the fugitives and coming out with their men. Another requirement of the police is to fight forest fires. This scene shows the police with their equipment for such an occasion smothering a blaze which, if not handled promptly and skillfully, might have resulted in serious loss of life and money. In obtaining interesting matter for this film the scenic portion was not neglected. Scenes on picturesque roadways, whirling streams and shady forests all add to the beauty, especially one of the mounted police passing the monument at Wyoming commemorating the Indian Massacre during the Revolutionary War.
