A New York State University Police Officer is responsible for the detection and prevention
of crime, and the enforcement of state and local laws, rule and regulations in a diverse
educational environment.
To qualify for the civil service exam to become a New York State University Police
Officer, candidates must possess a minimum of 60 college credits — a higher standard
than many municipal or county law enforcement agencies. Following the written test,
candidates who score high enough to be reachable must pass a standardized physical
test that involves push-ups, sit-ups and a 1.5 mile run. Following the physical agility
testing, candidates advancing must clear psychological and medical screening. In addition,
substantial background testing/checking takes place, including fingerprinting.
