The state is looking to expand the pool of State Police applicants.
Governor Hochul announced the state is raising the maximum age to apply for a State Trooper position from 29 to 34.
And that maximum can go up by as much as 7 years with matching military service.
Earlier this year, the Governor announced more than $66 million in the budget to fund additional Trooper academy classes.
And the State Police have ramped up recruiting efforts to try to reach women and minorities.
