From the Paper:

"The official history of the New York State Police traces back to 1917. It is difficult to believe, but well into the 20th century New York State had no unified state police force. It was not until 1913, when the murderer of a construction foreman named Sam Howell in then quite rural Westchester County escaped without consequence that a call to form such a force began. Sam Howell's employer began the drive to create a movement to form a New York State Police, specifically to provide police protection to rural areas."
