New York State Police Academy effected by a reduction in spending by the State
ALBANY, NY – Pulling the State Police out of Stewart Airport in Newburgh isn’t the only way the agency is looking to save money in these tough economic times.
There is currently no class of new state troopers at the police academy in Albany and there is not likely to be one any time soon, said State Police spokesman Lt. Glenn Miner.
“The police academy itself will not close; we still do in-service training and conduct training; however, we do not currently have a recruit class going through the academy and it is yet to be determined when we might have a future recruit class going through,” he said. “Any subsequent decisions after this budget period would be based on future budgetary concerns.”
State Police are also pulling out of the patrol function at the Javits Center in New York City.

Smart agency — they bolstered their members to record numbers while the Fed money was flowing freely. Now they can ride out not only the deficit, but also any retirements that may take place and still be at full strength.
