Mission
The primary mission of the Division of State Police is to promote highway safety and protect the citizens of New York State. The Division’s many responsibilities include patrolling roads and highways outside major urban areas, providing specialty and investigative police services, conducting sophisticated investigations of criminal activities like drug trafficking and child endangerment, and working cooperatively with various levels of law enforcement throughout the State.
Budget Highlights
The Executive Budget recommends $693 million for the Division. This is a decrease of $6.7 million from the 2011-12 budget and is primarily attributable to a reduction of $5.5 million in capital projects. The remaining $1.2 million reduction relates to savings associated with enterprise procurement efforts and information technology consolidations with the Division of Criminal Justice Services.
The Executive Budget recommends a workforce of 5,220 FTEs for the Division, and assumes the resumption of cadet training classes. The new cadets will offset continuing attrition and allow the Division to maintain its workforce at the 2011-12 level.
