Authorizes Joseph Fredrick to take the competitive civil service exam-
ination for the position of police officer and be placed on the eligible
list for employment as a full-time police officer with the village of
Allegany.
SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:
Section 1 of the bill authorizes Joseph Fredrick, who has been employed
by the village of Allegany, as a part-time police officer, to be eligi-
ble to take the competitive civil service examination for the position
of police officer and to be eligible to be placed on the eligible list
for appointment as a full-time police officer with the village of Alle-
gany.
Section 2 of the bill specifies that Joseph Fredrick shall be subject to
the merit and fitness provisions of the Civil Service Law applicable to
full-time police officers.
Section 3 of the bill provides for the effective date.
JUSTIFICATION:
Joe has served with distinction as a part-time officer for many years.
He began his career in 2006 with the Town of Cuba Police Department and
has maintained continuous, exemplary service ever since. During his time
with the village of Allegany, Joe has proven to be an invaluable asset
to the department and the community.
Currently, New York State Civil Service age requirements preclude them
from transitioning Joe to a full-time role via the standard examination
process. However, given his extensive experience and unwavering commit-
ment to law enforcement, they're eager to have him their ranks on a
permanent, full-time basis.
PRIOR LEGISLATIVE HISTORY:
New Bill.
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS FOR STATE AND LOCAL GOVERNMENTS:
None.
EFFECTIVE DATE:
This act shall take effect immediately.
