AI Summary
This bill authorizes the city of Lowell to appoint retired police officers as special police officers within the city for paid detail assignments. The city manager can appoint retired Lowell police officers as special police officers to perform police details or other duties related to police detail work. These special police officers will have the same arrest powers as regular Lowell police officers, but they will not be subject to certain laws, such as those regarding civil service or collective bargaining. The special police officers will be subject to rules and regulations set by the police superintendent, including requirements for medical exams, training, and equipment. The bill also sets a 5-year limit on how long a retired officer can serve as a special police officer, and a mandatory retirement age of 70. The bill requires acceptance by the Lowell city council to take effect.
