“On behalf of the New York State Assembly, I would like to extend my deepest condolences to the family, friends and colleagues of Trooper Clark.”

Governor Andrew M. Cuomo today also directed that flags on all state government buildings be flown at half-staff in honor of New York State Police Trooper Nicholas F. Clark, who died in the line of duty today in Steuben County. They will be lowered until Trooper Clark’s interment.

Earlier today, Governor Cuomo met with state troopers and local law enforcement to receive a briefing on Trooper Clark’s death.
