New York A02423 mandates police officers to complete training exceeding municipal standards before carrying or using a firearm on duty.

New York A02423 amends the executive law to prohibit police officers from carrying or using a firearm during official duties unless they complete a training course that meets or exceeds the minimum standards set by the municipal police training council. The bill also mandates that employers of police officers ensure this training is provided with sufficient frequency to avoid any impact on officers' on-duty employment. Failure to provide this training does not affect an officer's ability to carry a firearm while off-duty.
