"First Deputy Superintendent Groeber is a proven leader in the finest traditions of the New York State Police," said Gov. Cuomo. "I know she moves into her new position with the experience and dedication that's necessary to serve all New Yorkers. I congratulate Patricia Groeber on her appointment to this incredibly important post."
As the first deputy, Groeber will oversee the daily operations of all aspects of the 4,800 member division, including field command, administration, employee relations and internal affairs.
She first joined the State Police on Sept. 22, 1986, as a Trooper in Troop G and has served in numerous positions throughout her career, including being named the first female Field Commander in 2013. In that position she was the first woman to oversee operations of the Uniform Force, the Bureau of Criminal Investigation, the New York State Intelligence Center and the Office of Counter Terrorism.
State Police Superintendent D'Amico said, "Patricia Groeber has been committed to protecting the people of New York for nearly 30 years. Her career has taken her to all corners of the state, rising through the ranks to be the first female to hold a number of leadership positions within the New York State Police. Today, we congratulate her latest achievement as she becomes First Deputy Superintendent. Her leadership and dedication to this agency will not only benefit the New York State Police, but also the people of this great state."
A 1984 graduate of SUNY Albany, she later obtained a master’s degree in criminal justice from the Rockefeller College.
