BILL NUMBER:S2466 REVISED 1/29/13
Title of bill
An act to amend the criminal procedure law, in relation to granting peace officer status to certain designated employees of the Richmond county public administrator's office
Purpose
This bill would provide for the designation of certain employ- ees of the Richmond county public administrators office as peace offi- cers.
Summary of provisions
Section 1. Section 2.10 of the criminal procedure law is amended by adding a new subdivision 84.
Section 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
Justification
The legislation is being amended to allow limited powers only to Chief Investigators of the Public Administrators office.
The Public Administrator's primary job is to administer estates that would otherwise remain unadministered, to protect the decedent's proper- ty from loss or theft, make appropriate burial arrangements when no close relative is available to make the decisions, conduct thorough investigations to discover all assets, liquidate assets at public sale and distribute assets to heirs, pay the decedent's bills and taxes, and to find persons entitled to inherit from the estate and to make sure that the legal distributes receive their inheritance.
In the original version of this bill, the designation of peace officers was applied to certain employees of the Richmond County public adminis- trators. This has now been changed to reflect only chief investigators of the Public Administrators office. Furthermore, it will allow that individual to make warrantless arrests, possess a firearm and use phys- ical force. These last points axe very important because they ensure the safety and well being of the officer who may sometimes enter a threaten- ing situation and not have police assistance readily available.
