Bill Summary
For legislation to authorize the appointment of retired police officers as school resource officers. Education.
AI Summary
This bill authorizes the appointment of retired police officers as school resource officers. Retired police officers who have previously served on a municipal police department or the state police and are retired based on superannuation (i.e., reaching the normal retirement age) can be appointed as school resource officers, subject to certain conditions. These retired officers will have the same arrest powers and police functions as regular officers in the municipality, but will not be subject to certain employment laws and regulations that apply to regular officers. The retired officers will need to pass a medical examination and comply with the appointing police chief's rules and requirements, at no cost to the municipality.
