S 1928 New York Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Designates uniformed marine patrol officers as peace officers in the county of Seneca

This bill (S 1928) designates Seneca County's uniformed marine patrol officers (appointed by the sheriff) as peace officers within Seneca County. It amends the criminal procedure law to formally include these officers under the legal definition of "peace officers" for county duties. The bill explicitly states they cannot carry or possess firearms without a valid license under penal law, and only while on duty. The change takes effect immediately upon enactment.
