Bill > S08274

This bill amends the New York criminal procedure law to designate security officers working at the Pleasantville village court as peace officers with limited powers. Specifically, these security officers will only be authorized to perform certain actions as outlined in specific paragraphs of the criminal procedure law, such as maintaining order and preventing crime. The bill includes important restrictions: these officers cannot carry, possess, repair, or dispose of a firearm without first obtaining the appropriate license, and if they are not already a police or peace officer, they must complete mandatory training as specified in the law. The key purpose of the bill is to provide legal recognition and a defined set of authorized actions for security personnel working specifically at the Pleasantville village court, while maintaining clear boundaries on their authority and requiring appropriate qualifications.
