Rhode Island S2368 expands the definition of "police officer" to include probation and parole officers for salary payments during line of duty.
Rhode Island S2368 amends the definition of "police officer" in the state's General Laws to include probation officers and parole officers for purposes of salary payments during line of duty illness or injury. This means that these officers will now receive the same salary payments as other police officers when they are incapacitated due to injuries or illnesses sustained while performing their duties. The bill also outlines procedures for applying for accidental disability retirement benefits and the conditions under which injured-on-duty payments may be terminated.
