Bill > A10328

This bill amends the criminal procedure law to grant peace officer status to security officers employed by St. Joseph's Health Hospital, North Medical Center, and Northeast Medical Center. This means these security officers will have certain law enforcement powers, specifically when they are performing their duties on the grounds or property owned or managed by these hospitals, or on adjacent public streets and sidewalks. Their powers can also extend beyond these areas if requested by local law enforcement for transporting individuals arrested under specific circumstances when no local officer is available. The bill outlines specific powers these security officers will have, including the ability to detain individuals they believe have committed an offense while awaiting law enforcement, but it explicitly states they cannot carry firearms without the proper license.
