AI Summary

This bill authorizes the City of Leominster to appoint retired police officers as special police officers to perform traffic details.

The special police officers will have the same arrest powers as regular police officers, but they will not be eligible for certain benefits and will be limited in the number of hours they can work and their earnings.
