Nobody wants to see a New York State Police vehicle in their rearview mirror, lights flashing and sirens whaling. When we aren't being pulled over, you have to admit our grey and gold cruisers are pretty cool to look at but do we have the "Best Looking Cruiser in the Nation"?

The American Association of State Troopers is conducting their 12th annual search for the best looking cruisers in America and you can place your vote! The search for the best looking cruiser in the Nation is underway with voting opportunities available until Friday July 11th at 5pm.

In February the New York State Police announced that they are changing the color of their patrol cars from blue to gray. Beginning in 2026, the gray patrol cars will be added into the lineup to be assigned to Troopers across the state.

The new paint scheme features a gold stripe compared to the current paint scheme, dark blue with a yellow stripe. The Department used gray patrol cars until changing them to blue in the 1970s.
