New York State Police Troop T Headquarters – Albany, NY

About NYSP Troop T

The New York State Police Troop T is headquartered at 200 Southern Boulevard in Albany. This specialized troop is exclusively dedicated to policing the Governor Thomas E. Dewey Thruway (Interstate 87 and Interstate 90), which spans 570 miles across the state. Unlike regional troops that patrol towns and counties, Troop T focuses on highway safety, traffic enforcement, and criminal interdiction along this major toll road system. The Albany headquarters oversees operations for the entire Thruway system, coordinating with various zones from New York City to the Pennsylvania border.

Patrol and Services

Troopers assigned to Troop T are responsible for accident investigations, disabled vehicle assistance, and the enforcement of vehicle and traffic laws, including speed and commercial vehicle regulations. They work closely with the Thruway Authority to manage traffic flow during storms and construction. The Albany station also serves as a point of contact for obtaining accident reports for incidents that occur on the Thruway in the Capital Region. The facility operates 24 hours a day, ensuring constant coverage for the motoring public.
