Departments We Have
1) State Police
In the United States, state police (also called state troopers or highway patrol) are a police body unique to each U.S. state, having statewide authority to conduct law enforcement activities and criminal investigations. In general, they perform functions outside the jurisdiction of the county sheriff (Vermont being a notable exception[citation needed]), such as enforcing traffic laws on state highways and interstate expressways, overseeing the security of the state capitol complex, protecting the governor, training new officers for local police forces too small to operate an academy, providing technological and scientific services, supporting local police and helping to coordinate multi-jurisdictional task force activity in serious or complicated cases in those states that grant full police powers statewide. A general trend has been to bring all of these agencies under a state Department of Public Safety. Additionally, they may serve under different state departments such as the Highway Patrol under the state Department of Transportation and the Marine patrol under the state Department of Natural Resources.
2) State Fire
Our Mission
The New York State Office of Fire Prevention and Control strives to be the nationally recognized leader in fire services, delivering the highest quality, state of the art, and most comprehensive training, response, and technical assistance programs and services to emergency responders, local entities, and the citizens of New York State. The Office's programs enable: the state's fire service to become the best trained, well prepared and most effective professional emergency response force in the nation; New York State's colleges, universities, state properties and its citizens, to be the safest in regard to fire prevention and awareness; and the state to maintain arson related fires at the lowest per capita within the United States.
Our Vision
The Office of Fire Prevention and Control will deliver a wide breadth of services to firefighters, emergency responders, state and local government agencies, public and private colleges, and the citizens of New York. The Office advances public safety through firefighter training, education, fire prevention, investigative, special operations and technical rescue programs. The timely delivery of these essential services enables the Office to make significant contributions to the safety of all of New York State.
3) State Trooper
State Trooper Job Description
State troopers are law enforcement professionals who ensure that drivers are following state vehicular laws and regulations. These officers may direct traffic, issue citations, arrest criminals, assist injured motorists involved in accidents and help local law enforcement agencies. This job requires the professional to have a full understanding of constitutional and state law as it pertains to criminality.
State Trooper Job Duties
State trooper job duties include enforcing laws with the goal of promoting safety, responding to civil disorders, preventing disturbances and riots, relaying evidence to detectives and preparing testimony for court appearances. These law enforcement professionals may also document evidence, conduct interviews, and take appropriate photographs of crime scenes for ongoing criminal investigations. At the scene of accidents, state troopers may be required to administer first aid, call for emergency equipment and operate the equipment once it arrives.
State troopers must also issue traffic citations and tickets, and use their judgment when issuing an alcohol Breathalyzer test for potential drunk drivers. Because state troopers are often dealing with individuals who are traveling at high speeds, it's important for them to anticipate any type of situation. While state troopers may encounter a family speeding in a minivan, they could experience a far more dangerous situation.

4) Highway Patrol
A highway patrol is either a police unit created primarily for the purpose of overseeing and enforcing traffic safety compliance on roads and highways, or a detail within an existing local or regional police agency that is primarily concerned with such duties.
5) Civilian
civilian. The most common meaning for civilian is simply someone who is not in the military. It can also refer to any object that is not military in origin — e.g., "civilianclothes" or "civilian life." The meaning of civilian as a non military person is a relatively new one, dating from the early 19th century.
6) Dispatcher
Dispatchers answer calls and communicate with mobile units to send the appropriate response. Dispatchers are used in the semi-truck shipping industry, taking orders for trucking companies and sending truckers to pick up and drop off materials.
