Expands the geographic area of employment for state university police officers and centralizes their command under a commissioner.

This bill expands the geographic area of employment for state university police officers to include all of New York state. It centralizes the state university police by appointing a commissioner who will have supervisory and administrative authority over all university police officers. The commissioner will also have the authority to hire university police officers. The bill also repeals a section of the criminal procedure law that previously limited the geographic area of employment for these officers.
