Hi, my name is LySonia Holder.
I’ve been a New York State Trooper for 6 years. During those six years, I’ve done
roadwork, participated in an undercover operation, a wiretap detail, and am presently
recruiting for Troop K. Prior to becoming a New York State Trooper I was as a case
worker on Long Island, New York and worked primarily from behind a desk or on a computer.
Working as a Trooper has given me the opportunity to be hands on with my approach.
I am able to meet and talk with people from all walks of life including; politicians,
celebrities, students and community leaders.
I plan on studying for the sergeant’s exam and as a supervisor hope to utilize the
skills and training that I have learned on the job to assist troopers in their job
performance and career path.
This has been a great career choice for me and the opportunities seem endless.
The deadline to apply for the 2008 entrance examination for the position of New York
State Trooper was December 1, 2007. Testing was conducted in January and February, 2008
at numerous locations throughout New York State and ended February 9th. The eligibility
list for this exam can last up to four (4) years. We do not anticipate conducting another
exam in the near future.
However, we do offer a variety of non-sworn employment opportunities, with continuous
