AI Summary
This bill authorizes the police chief of the city of New Bedford to appoint retired New Bedford police officers as special police officers to perform police details and emergency response duties. The special police officers are not subject to certain state laws and regulations, and they must meet various requirements set by the police chief, including passing a medical exam, maintaining required licenses and insurance, and paying administrative fees. The special police officers have the same arrest and law enforcement powers as regular New Bedford police officers, but they are appointed for one-year terms at the sole discretion of the police chief, who can suspend or remove them at any time.
