BILL NUMBER: S7009 TITLE OF BILL : An act to amend the criminal procedure law, in relation to designating certain officers or agents appointed by the Niagara county department of social services as peace officers PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL : This bill would allow officers and agents appointed by the Niagara County Department of Social Services to be granted Peace Officer Status SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS : Section 1. Amends Section 2.10 of the Criminal Procedure Law by adding a new subdivision 83. to allow officers or agents appointed by the Niagara County Department of Social Services to be granted Peace Officer Status. JUSTIFICATION : Currently, The Niagara County Sheriff's Department is responsible for investigating and arresting individuals suspected of welfare fraud and other offenses. Due to budgetary constraints the Sheriff's department may not be able to continue in this function. Since Welfare and Medicaid fraud in particular have negative fiscal implications for Niagara County, it is vitally important that Department of Social Services investigators be able to fill this role as needed. Allowing designated and qualified individuals to have Peace Officer status will fulfill this need. PRIOR LEGISLATIVE HISTORY : None
