Note, that's it was not just a State Police school, rather a "Police School" as officers from other departments within NY and other states attended. thus. Prior to 1921 training was accomplished at Troop Headquarters. Some session pictures and names are missing. In the 1960's, when there was a large build up to implement the 40 hr week, individual pictures were not taken.
