MODERATE
This bill amends training requirements for sheriffs and undersheriffs by allowing them to apply for certificates based on prior New York State Police training, rather than being completely exempt from training requirements. It also adds new provisions to the executive law to establish rules for recognizing equivalent training credentials.
Scope change
Expanded from only the general municipal law to include amendments to the executive law, broadening the scope to cover state-level training equivalency standards.
ELIGIBILITY
Sheriffs and undersheriffs are no longer completely exempt from training requirements; they may now apply for certificates based on prior state police training.
REQUIREMENT
New regulations require the municipal police training council to establish rules for recognizing New York State Police training as equivalent to municipal police basic training.
Added new subdivision 3-b to section 841 of the executive law to authorize certification of police officers with substantially equivalent training credentials.
Added new subdivision 9 to section 840 of the executive law to outline procedures for determining training equivalency and application processes.
