Grants peace office status to the district attorney of Dutchess county
This bill grants Dutchess County's district attorney peace office status while performing official duties under New York law. It specifically adds the position to the list of individuals recognized as peace officers in the criminal procedure law, with the exception that the district attorney still requires a separate license to carry firearms under penal law. The bill is procedural in nature, focusing solely on formalizing the district attorney's status without altering substantive legal authority.
