Welcome to the Association of Former New York State Troopers, Inc. web page.
The AFNYST is comprised of almost 2,000 members, who, as the name suggests, are former New York State Troopers. The Association was founded in 1951 and is the only non government organization in New York that can use the word "Troopers" in their name.
NUMEROUS REQUESTS HAVE BEEN RECEIVED FROM EMAIL SOURCES OF QUESTIONABLE NATURE. THERE IS CURRENTLY NO WAY TO VERIFY MEMBERSHIP BASED ON SUBMISSIONS DONE VIA THE "JOIN" BUTTON.

The Association of Former New York State Troopers (AFNYST) consists of fourteen chapters which represent geographical areas of New York State. There are no residential requirements. Generally one joins a chapter located within the area where he/she formerly worked. It's really a matter of socializing with old friends. In fact, the whole idea is to continue the camaraderie we enjoyed during the years "on the job". Joining requires completing an application, having a sponsor sign for you and being of good moral character. The individual chapter votes on the applicant.
