Legislative Proposals
To assist in the expansion of efforts aimed at crime reduction in police departments located outside of New York City, the Assembly establishes the Community Oriented Policing and Anti-Drug and Gun Enforcement Program. In addition, $6,250,000 to provide grants to counties, cities, towns and villages, to hire 2,500 law enforcement officers, to deter and control gun trafficking and gun-related crimes, enhance law enforcement training in community oriented policing and improve access to law enforcement computer technology.
The Assembly restores funding for the Gun Trafficking Interdiction Program, to provide grants to prosecutorial agencies to interdict illegal guns from entering New York State communities and mandate requests for Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms tracing of illegal firearms. The Assembly restores $1,000,000 for this program which was cut by the Executive and adds an additional $500,000 to this program fund.
The Assembly makes no provision for a transfer of funds from the seized assets account to the Statewide Public Safety Account. The Assembly provides that increases in the seized assets account above SFY 98-99 levels from revenues from a surcharge on wireless telephone services, shall be allocated to localities for the purpose of providing cellular 911 services.
The assembly provides $2,000,000 to improve efforts by local police departments throughout the state to increase the diversity of police forces and improve police officer training.
