Edin J. Herrera
Hello, I'm Trooper Edin Herrera. Prior to joining the New York State Police I worked
as a senior editor for a publishing company in the state of NJ. In 2000, I decided
to take on a new challenge and become a trooper. No other decision has had such
an impact on my life as the one I made 8 years ago. That decision has allowed for
me to have a positive impact on the lives of countless individuals. It has also
given me the opportunity to assist in the relief effort of such disasters as the
World Trade Center and Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans. Giving back to the community
has always been my desire. In joining the New York State Police I can honestly say
that my desire has been fulfilled.

Al A. Vasquez
Hi my name is Al Vasquez. I am currently assigned to the New York City Recruitment
Office. It has been a pleasure serving the New York State Police for the last seven
years. As a new Trooper I was assigned to Westchester County, both town and highway
patrols. I have also served as a School Resource Officer placed to assist the students
with everyday challenges.
The State Police has also allowed me to be a role model in my Bronx community. In
my free time I volunteer at my old high school DeWitt Clinton. I assist the soccer
team and share my experiences with their Air Force Cadets. During my time of service
with the State Police, I was able to complete my bachelor's at Lehman College and
am currently seeking Grad School. The dream is real!"
