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.
