Grants peace officer status to certain employees of the department of public safety of the Syracuse city school district
This bill grants peace officer status in New York State to specific retired law enforcement officers working in safety roles for the Syracuse City School District's public safety department. It applies to employees serving as special patrol officers, assistant director of safety and security, director of safety and security, or chief emergency officer, as appointed by the school board. The status allows these individuals to perform peace officer duties within school facilities, but it does not authorize firearm possession without a separate license under penal law. The bill makes a technical change to existing law to formally recognize these school security positions as peace officer roles.
