It is formally part of the New York State Executive Department. There were a number of proposals for a State Police force during the early 1900s but bills for its creation faced considerable opposition from union interests. Finally in 1917 in response to, and from the publicity surrounding, the 1913 murder of a construction foreman named Sam Howell in Westchester County a bill for the creation of the New York State Police was passed. The New York State Police was officially established on April 11, 1917 by the New York Legislature.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBrand New!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHigh Quality Colorized and High Relief Finish.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYou will receive one Challenge Coin.
