Disagree. ...The Texas Rangers were formed when Texas was a Republic during the years of 1836-45, and continued when Texas became a State. ...Per Wiki, the Texas Rangers are the oldest State law enforcement agency in the US.
Wiki is wrong. The US Marshal Service is generally regarded as the oldest law enforcement agency and predates the TX Rangers by several decades.
Pennsylvania State police was formed in 1905. The Texas Rangers combined with the Texas Dept. of Public Safety in 1933. My Bad, I should have been more specific about oldest state police.
