In celebration of the NYS Police Centennial, State Police held an open house at Troop A Headquarters on West Saile Drive in Batavia Saturday.
“As one of the original four Troops, this celebration is extra special here in WNY and our 100 year history is a source of great pride and tradition,” says Major Steven Nigrelli, Troop A Commander.
The day was filled with activities and demonstrations that included historical displays, defensive tactics demonstrations, a K-9 demonstration and Aviation and Special Operations Response Team show along with a robot demonstration, interactive DWI goggles with pedal cars, NYSP Horse Mounted detail, classic police cars, NYSP Motorcycles Unit and a Firearms Safety display.
