Allows police officers in Westchester County to be suspended without pay for up to 30 days pending a disciplinary trial.

New York S06738 amends the law to allow police officers in Westchester County to be suspended without pay for up to 30 days while awaiting a disciplinary trial. The suspension must be approved by the town board or board of police commissioners. If the officer is not convicted or their conviction is reversed, they are entitled to full pay from the date of suspension to the date of reinstatement, minus any compensation received from other employment during that period. The bill also ensures that officers have the right to a public hearing and legal representation during the trial.
