Professional Policing Act
New York State’s Professional Policing Act strengthened the state’s oversight of municipal police agencies with the goal of ensuring that individuals employed as police officers across the state are qualified, ethical and physically and psychologically fit to serve and protect their communities.
Counties, cities, towns, villages and police districts must follow comprehensive hiring standards and procedures for police officers; report misconduct to appropriate state agencies; and comply with all reporting requirements to the state’s Police and Peace Officer Registry, which is administered by DCJS.
