After the end of World War II, General Douglas MacArthur requested the help of the Michigan State Police in reorganizing the Japanese national police as a democratic, civil police force. In 1930, the black uniform was replaced with the familiar blue and gray uniform. In 1924, an expanded fleet of Indian and Harley Davidson motorcycles were introduced to highway patrol including in the Winter (with use of sidecars of course).
On March 26, 1919, Public Act 26 reorganized the Constabulary as the permanent, peace-time Michigan State Police. This new force consisted of five Troops of mounted, dismounted and motorized units, totaling 300 men. On April 19, 1917, the Michigan State Troops Permanent Force, (also known as the Michigan State Constabulary) was created. The Michigan Department of State Police began as a temporary, wartime emergency force for the purpose of domestic security during World War I.
