City, state lawmakers announce joint legislation to keep rogue New York cops from landing new law
enforcement jobs
City and state politicians announced plans Saturday for legislation that would permanently bar all police officers dismissed or forced to resign for disciplinary reasons from landing another law enforcement job anywhere in New York state.
These wandering officers are twice as likely to commit physical and sexual misconduct, said City Council Speaker Corey Johnson at the Harlem headquarters of the Rev. Al Sharptons National Action Network.
We simply cannot allow the hiring of bad apples and people convicted of crime, he said.
Johnson, joined by City Council member Francisco Moya and state Sen. Brian Benjamin, said the bill will be proposed in both the city and the state.
