Relative to the appointment of special police officers in the city of Fall River
AI Summary
This bill allows the Fall River Chief of Police to appoint retired police officers as special police officers for the purpose of performing police details and other police duties. The special police officers must have previously served as regular full-time police officers for the City of Fall River and voluntarily retired based on superannuation (retirement based on age and years of service). The special police officers will have the same powers as regular police officers, but will be excluded from certain employment laws and benefits. The appointments are at the sole discretion of the Chief of Police and can be terminated at any time. The special police officers must comply with various requirements, including medical exams, training, and firearms qualifications, at no cost to the city.
