Editor's Note: This local law repealed former
Article II, Administration, adopted 10-3-1984 by L.L. No. 5-1984,
as amended.
The purpose of this article shall be to provide
for the efficient administration of the Police Department of the Town.
The Town Board hereby establishes a Board of
Police Commissioners which shall consist of the Town Board. The Supervisor
shall Chair the Board of Police Commissioners.
The Board of Police Commissioners shall have
all of the powers and duties granted to a Board of Police Commissioners
under Chapter 104 of the Laws of 1936, as amended, except to the extent
those powers or duties are otherwise delegated to the Chief of Police
by this article.
A.
The Chief of Police shall hire, discipline and promote
members of the Department, establish departmental rules and regulations
and be responsible for the day-to-day operation of the Department,
all subject to approval by the Board of Police Commissioners and all
other applicable laws governing such activities.
B.
In carrying out the day-to-day operations of the Department, the Chief of Police shall have reasonable discretion to take such actions as are necessary to ensure the safe and efficient operation of the Department, in a manner consistent with accepted police practices; provided, however, that fundamental policy changes, including those which should properly be included in Department rules and regulations, shall be subject to the restrictions contained in Subsection A of this section.
C.
The Chief of Police shall periodically and not less
than quarterly report to the Board of Police Commissioners personally
on the status of the Police Department and its personnel.
D.
Except as to the discipline of the Chief of Police,
all formal departmental disciplinary charges shall be brought by the
Chief of Police, subject to the requirements of applicable law. All
such charges shall be heard by a hearing officer appointed by the
Board of Police Commissioners. In the case of discipline of the Chief
of Police, such charges shall be brought by the Board of Police Commissioners
and shall be heard by a hearing officer appointed by the Board of
Police Commissioners.
E.
In all other instances, the Board of Police Commissioners
shall be granted all the powers and duties granted to a Board of Police
Commissioners under Chapter 104 of the Laws of 1936, as amended.
It is the purpose and intent of this article
to supersede Chapter 104 of the Laws of 1936, as amended, as it relates
to the powers and duties of the Chief of Police and the Board of Police
Commissioners. The Town Board, pursuant to the authority granted to
the Town Board by the Municipal Home Rule Law, may supersede such
a special act of the legislature, and to the extent that such special
act of the legislature is inconsistent with this article, then Chapter
104 of the Laws of 1936, as amended, is hereby superseded.
In all other respects, the Police Department
of the Town of Mamaroneck shall be governed by applicable law.
