New York State Police
A number of proposals to create such a force during the early 1900s, but faced considerable opposition from trade union interests.[3] Following the 1913 murder of Sam Howell, a construction foreman in Westchester County, and failure of the local police to arrest suspects he had named before his death, the New York State Legislature passed a bill to establish a state police force.He was an early advocate of officers carrying their weapons exposed on a belt, which was not common practice at the time.The Crime Laboratory performs DNA analysis for state investigations and for local law enforcement.[5] Cuomo resigned in August 2021, and by January 2022, New York officials announced that the two police forces would remain separate.
