Title of bill
An act authorizing the division of criminal justice services to add to the police officers memorial the names of peace officers of the state of New York who are slain in the line of duty
Purpose
Allows the names of peace officers slain in the line of duty in the State of New York to be added to the Police Officers Memorial.
Summary of provisions
This bill would allow for the names, departments, and dates of death of peace officers slain in the line of duty in the State of New York, in the discretion of the Police Officers Memorial Advisory Committee, under the discretion of the Division of Criminal Justice Services, to be added to the Police Officers Memorial located on the Empire State Plaza in the City of Albany.
Justification
The intent of the memorial is to honor all fallen state officers who lost their lives in the line of duty. Currently, only the names of police officers of New York State and federal law enforcement officers who were slain while in the line of duty may be added to the Police Officers Memorial. Many peace officers put their lives on the line every day to keep our local communities safe and some have paid the ultimate sacrifice for their heroic actions. These peace officers should rightfully be included in the memorial and should not be omitted simply because they did not hold the title of police officer.
