Trivia - New Trooper (since approximately 1958) uniforms are grey and not wool. The old uniforms were made of wool (shirts, jackets and britches) and were not grey, but rather are made of equal parts white fiber and equal parts black fiber to symbolizing the impartialty of justice. Uniforms are also treated like a U.S. Flag, when they are no longer serviceable they are burned. The black stripe down the trouser of a Trooper is worn in remembrance of fallen comrades. The purple color of their ties and stetson's represents the elite unit they are and is worn as the elite Praetorian Guard did.
- Recruits must complete a twenty-six week training academy prior to being confirmed as a Trooper. The militaristic, residential school is held at the NYSP Academy in Albany, NY
