Bill > A03987

This bill amends the criminal procedure law to designate security officers for the Pleasantville village court as peace officers with specific, limited powers. These security officers will only be authorized to exercise three specific powers outlined in section 2.20 of the criminal procedure law, which likely relate to maintaining order and safety within the court. The bill includes important restrictions: the officers cannot carry, possess, repair, or dispose of a firearm unless they have the appropriate license from the penal law, and if they are not already police or peace officers, they must complete mandatory training as specified in section 2.30 of the criminal procedure law. The key purpose of this legislation appears to be providing official legal status and clearly defined responsibilities to court security personnel in the Village of Pleasantville, while maintaining safeguards to ensure proper training and weapon handling protocols.
