New York State Troopers
In Nassau & Suffolk Counties: The New York State Police did not come about until abt 1915.Until then the local constables would handle crime. When a murder was committed the local law enforcement was ill-equipped to handle a murder case. A group of women got together and began a petition to form a police unit that would deal with crime on any of the area roadways. Thus the 'Trooper' was born.
