Establishes the New York state park police under the jurisdiction of the commissioner of parks, recreation and historic preservation.
The bill establishes the New York state park police as an independent law enforcement agency under the commissioner of parks, recreation and historic preservation. It ensures the park police are not under the operational direction of the New York state police. The park police will have independent operational authority, though it prohibits coordination with other law enforcement agencies on training, preparedness, emergency response, and mass gatherings. The park police will function solely under the supervision of the commissioner.
