Its first superintendent was then [[US Army]] Colonel Norman Schwarzkopf, a veteran of [[World War I]] who personally trained the first 81 officers and troopers. |

The NJSP Superinendent, Colonel [[Norman Schwarzkopf]] even takes Sheriff [[Ramsey]]'s office for himself while doing an investigation. Nevertheless, the NJSP leaves town by the end of March without having caught either Siegel or Rosetti. ("[[Ging Gang Goolie]]") |

The arrest of Nucky in the show by the NJSP in mid-February 1921 is therefore anachronistic by a few months. |
