Sponsor's memo

Title of bill

An act to amend the criminal procedure law, in relation to granting uniformed members of the bureau of fire prevention of the town of Islip peace officer status

Purpose or general idea of bill

This bill grants peace officer status to members of the Town of Islip's Bureau of Fire Prevention.

Summary of specific provisions

Section 1 of the bill amends Section 2.10 of the criminal procedure law by adding a new subdivision 84 which establishes uniformed members of the Town of Islip Bureau of Fire Prevention as having peace officer status.

Justification

Peace officers are able to investigate and prosecute arson cases and take statements in the field and in depositions. This bill would expand the powers of the members of the Town of Islip Bureau of Fire Prevention to include those duties, as well as allow members to inspect premises for violations of ordinances and conditions liable to cause fire. It would also provide training to the members in evidence, searches and seizures.
