Title of bill
An act to amend the executive law, in relation to the duties of the municipal police training council
Purpose
To authorize the Municipal Police Training Council to recommend to the governor rules and regulations with respect to the development of policies and procedures regarding the investigation, enforcement, and prevention of any act of cruelty to animals and to provide training to law enforcement on such policies and procedures.
Summary of provisions
This bill amends the executive law by adding two new paragraphs (k) and (m) to subdivision 1 of section 840.
Paragraph (k) authorizes the Municipal Police Training Council to recommend to the governor rules and regulations with respect to the development, maintenance, and dissemination of written policies and procedures for the identification and enforcement of animal cruelty laws pursuant to article twenty-six of the agriculture and markets law, any applicable sections of the penal law, and section 352.3 of the family court act as it applies to orders of protection for companion animals.
Paragraph (m) establishes that above-mentioned policies and procedures on the investigation and enforcement of any act of cruelty to animals be included in ongoing training of members of law enforcement.
Justification
Currently the Municipal Police Training Council may recommend to the governor rules and regulations with respect to basic training and the development and dissemination of written policies and procedures, and training on such procedures, regarding the investigation and intervention of family offenses as well as child abuse and neglect cases. This bill would include the development and dissemination of policies and procedures, and training on such procedures, regarding the investigation and prevention of animal cruelty cases. Such education and training would create a more effective means of investigating and preventing acts of cruelty to animals.
