A 3300 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

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

This bill reclassifies New York City sheriffs, under-sheriffs, and deputy sheriffs as "police officers" under New York State law. It amends the criminal procedure law to update definitions, directly affecting these city law enforcement personnel by changing their official designation. The key mechanism is modifying specific legal sections to include these roles within the definition of "police officers," aligning their status with other sworn officers. This change does not alter their duties or authority but updates their legal classification in state statutes.
