It is, most agree, a tough time for the New York State Police. Tuesday the Senate Crime Victims, Crime and Corrections Committee confirmed the governor's appointee for Superintendent of the State Police.

LAPD officer pleads not guilty
LOS ANGELES - A police officer assigned to the scandal-scarred Rampart Division pleaded not guilty Friday to making false arrests and filing a false police report.
Officer Edward Beltran Zamora, 44, entered the pleas in Superior Court.
He could face up to three years in prison if convicted of filing a false report, a felony, and two misdemeanor counts each of false arrest and false imprisonment.
Zamora remained free on $20,000 bail pending an Oct. 12 court hearing.
Zamora, who was relieved of his duties in May, could not immediately be reached for comment.
He had been under investigation since last December, when detectives from the Ethics Enforcement Section noticed a "problematic pattern in his performance" during arrests, according to Chief William Bratton.
Authorities said that during a sting operation, Zamora arrested two undercover officers for investigation of drug possession, even though a surveillance video showed they had no drugs.
The officer worked in the Rampart Division, not far from downtown.
In the late 1990s, the division was the focus of allegations that anti-gang officers framed and beat innocent people. Dozens of convictions were set aside as a result of the scandal.
