Putnam County Sheriff calls opposes gun restriction bill for peace officers

The Putnam County Sheriff is speaking out about another police reform in New York.  Sheriff Robert Langley says a bill introduced in the State Assembly would have a grave impact on all Peace Officers--the entire New York City Sheriff’s Department who execute violent warrants, New York State Court Officers , Parole Officers, Probation Officers and Constables.  The proposed bill would prohibit a Peace Officer from carrying or using a firearm during the scope of employment.  The New York State Sheriffs’ Association says peace officers also include school resource officers and campus safety officers.  The Sheriff's say that unarmed correction officers conducting prisoner transport or civil deputies serving orders of protection would be impractical and dangerous for the officers involved.
