Sometimes disciplinary meetings came weeks — even months — after an incident.

Trooper Steven L. Lisowski was caught on security cameras driving himself “and a female companion, in a marked State Police van,” under the Newburgh-Beacon Bridge in 2017, according to a disciplinary letter. After removing a bag of empty beer bottles and a cooler from the vehicle, he drove to the station. The incident was not criminally investigated.

Weeks later, during his disciplinary interview, he estimated that he had drank “four to five beers” that afternoon. “I do not feel I was impaired at all,” he said in the interview, per a transcript. Lisowski, 48, was suspended for 10 days, and remains with the agency. He did not respond to requests for comment.
