In 1913, a construction foreman named San Howell was murdered during a payroll robbery in Westchester County. Becuase Westchester County was a very rural area then, there was no local police department and Mr. Howell's murderers escaped, even though he identified them before he died.

 

This vicious crime spurred Mr. Howeel's employer, Moyca Newell and her friend, Katherine Mayo, to initiate a movement to form a State Police department to provide police protection to rural areas.

 

As a result of their efforts, the State Legislature established the New York State Police as a full service police agency on April 11, 1917.

 

Since the first 237 men rode out of their t-r-a-i-n-i-n-g camp on horseback to begin patrolling rural areas, troopers have been there to fulfill the law enforcement needs of the people of New York State with the highest degree of fairness, professionalism and integrity.
