Bill Summary
AN ACT to amend the general municipal law and the executive law, in relation to the completion of training requirements for sheriffs and undersheriffs
AI Summary
This bill amends existing laws to streamline the training requirements for sheriffs and undersheriffs, and to allow former members of the state police to qualify for municipal police forces. Specifically, it directs the municipal police training council, which oversees training for local police officers, to create rules and regulations for determining if former state police officers have equivalent qualifications to those who complete a standard municipal police basic training program. If a former state police officer meets these new standards, they will be issued a certificate, which will then allow them to be recognized as having met the training requirements for municipal police positions, including those for sheriffs and undersheriffs, without needing to complete the full municipal police basic training program again.
