BILL NUMBER:S4048
Title of bill
An act to amend the vehicle and traffic law, in relation to authorizing the issuance of distinctive license plates to auxiliary police or their spouses
Purpose
This bill authorizes the issuance of distinctive license plates to members of an Auxiliary Police department or their spouses.
Summary of provisions
This bill amends the vehicle and traffic law by adding a new section 404-x which authorizes the issuance of distinctive license plates for members of an Auxiliary Police department. The plate will bear the words "Auxiliary Police".
Justification
Auxiliary Police are highly trained volunteer police officers charged with performing many duties including routine patrols, traffic control, and serving as the "eyes and ears" of the police department. They help to create the perception of police omnipresence and are empowered to make arrests in many different circumstances. These individuals are certified by New York State Division of Criminal Justice Services and provide an invaluable service to their local communities. This legislation recognizes the brave commitment that Auxiliary Police Officers have made to serving their community and their effort in combating crime and improving the quality of life for all residents.
