The Troop started off as the Thruway Detail in 1954 and
became a Troop in December, 1961. Our
Troopers worked out of the adjacent Troops [A, D, G, and K]. I'm not real familiar with exactly how it
worked, because I didn't start with the SP until October, 1967.
When Troop Cars were Black and White, Troop T's vehicles
were Blue and White. Troop T Members
were assigned Personal Radio Identification Numbers [PRINs] and did not use the
number of the Troop Car.
In 1967, when I started, Troop Headquarters, the Albany Zone
and the Albany Station were all housed in one building, the one which now
contains only the Albany Zone and Station. In 1972, Troop Headquarters was moved into the new Thruway Authority
Administration Building, Second Floor; also, at that time, Troop Communications
was moved from Elsmere to the new building. The Thruway Authority offices used
to be located in serveral different buildings in the Delaware Plaza, Delaware
Avenue, Elsmere, NY.
The Division and the Thruway Authority, at one time, had an
agreement that the Troopers assigned to Troop T had to be out of the Academy
and have at least two years experience before they were sent to Troop T; it was
later changed to one year, upon the completion of their probation. Provided by Mary Ellen Lento | |
