Designates sheriffs, under-sheriffs and deputy sheriffs of the city of New York as police officers

This bill amends state law to officially classify sheriffs, under-sheriffs, and deputy sheriffs in New York City as police officers. The change updates specific sections of the Criminal Procedure Law to remove language that previously distinguished these officials from police based on their location. By making this designation, the legislation aligns the legal terminology for New York City law enforcement with that used for other counties in the state. The act takes effect immediately upon approval, ensuring the new classification is recognized without delay.
