SB209 amends the City of Seaford charter to redefine police duties and powers. It specifies that police officers must perform their duties as required by law, with neglect or refusal resulting in misdemeanor charges. The Mayor can present the officer to the Grand Jury of Sussex County, leading to fines and potential imprisonment. The bill also grants police officers the authority to arrest individuals for violations within the city and its immediate vicinity, as well as during hot pursuit across the state.
