New York (State). Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Services
As a result of the attacks of September 11, 2001, the New York State Office of Public Security (OPS) was created by executive order on October 10, 2001. The office was to assess the potential for terrorist attacks and the ability of the state to avert and or respond to threats. On July 23, 2004, the agency was codified and renamed the Office of Homeland Security (OHS). From January 2007- July 2010, the agency reported directly to the Governor through the Deputy Secretary for Public Safety.
In July 2010, the Division was created through the consolidation of the offices of Homeland Security (OHS), Emergency Management (SEMO), Fire Prevention and Control (OFPC), the Statewide Interoperability Program (SIPO) and Cyber Security and Critical Infrastructure Coordination (CSCIC). The consolidation allows the State to operate a single, multi-purpose agency focused on first responders and public safety. Each specialized office continues under the new umbrella agency.
