Mission
The primary mission of the Division of State Police is to protect the citizens of the State, prevent and detect crime and other violations of law and promote highway safety. The Division’s many responsibilities include patrolling roads and highways outside major urban areas, providing specialty and investigative police services, conducting sophisticated investigations of criminal activities such as drug trafficking and child endangerment, and working cooperatively with various levels of law enforcement throughout the State.
Budget Highlights
The FY 2017 Executive Budget recommends $849.6 million in All Funds for the Division ($625.8 million in the General Fund; $67.7 million in Special Revenue Funds - Federal; $60.6 million in Special Revenue Funds - Other; $58 million in Internal Service Funds; and $37.5 million in Capital Funds), an increase of $95.6 million from the prior year. This change reflects an increase of $89.6 million in State Operations largely attributable to the addition of two Federal Seized Assets appropriations. The increase in Capital Projects appropriations reflects an additional investment of $6 million for the design and construction of a Troop L Zone Headquarters in Nassau County.
The Executive Budget recommends a workforce of 5,608 FTEs for the Division. This reflects no change in FTEs from FY 2016.
