Save Police Overtime

Currently under VTL 1806 it is no longer necessary for state trooper to show up in court for a traffic ticket, unless there is a trial. However, this change has not gone through to other to state police entities such SUNY Police (definitely), New York State Park Police (maybe) and Environmental Conversation Officers. I think the law was changed partially so the state and municipalities could save on police overtime, but it is not be implemented consistently. I realize the Executive may not have control over all of these police entities, but I think it is something you should look into. Thanks!
