A 10417 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Establishes the New York state park police

This bill creates the New York State Park Police as an independent law enforcement agency under the direct supervision of the Commissioner of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation. The new police force will operate separately from the New York State Police, though it can coordinate with other agencies for training and emergency response. The legislation also establishes specific retirement rules for existing park police officers based on their years of service and age. These changes affect current regional park police members and define the operational structure of the state park police system.
