Grants court officers in the town of Shelter Island in Suffolk county peace officer status
This bill grants court officers employed by the town of Shelter Island in Suffolk County the official status of peace officers. Under the new provision, these officers gain the authority to perform duties associated with peace officer status, though they must still obtain a specific license to carry, possess, repair, or dispose of firearms. The change applies immediately to the existing court officers in that specific town and does not affect court officers in other locations.
