I have been a New York State Trooper since 1988. This is a career that is
second to none and has provided me experiences that I will never forget. I
was on the first wave of Troopers that responded to the World Trade Center
attack in NYC and to Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans. I have met people from
all walks of life including the President of the United States. You never
know what each day will bring.
Not everyone has what it takes to be a New York State Trooper because it requires
discipline, dedication and lots of hard work. If you make it, you will experience
a tremendous sense pride and accomplishment.
We will give you the opportunity but the rest is up to you. Do you have what
it takes?
