2021 New York Laws GMU - General Municipal Article 5 - Powers, Limitations and Liabilities 72-C - Expenses of Members of the Police Department and Other Peace Officers in Attending Police Training Schools.

§  72-c.  Expenses of members of the police department and other peace   officers in attending police training schools. The board or  body  of  a   county,  city,  town  or  village authorized to appropriate and to raise   money by taxation and to make payments therefrom, is hereby  authorized,   in  its discretion, to appropriate and to raise money by taxation and to   make payments from such moneys, for the annual expenses of  the  members   of  the  police  department of such municipal corporation in attending a   police  training  school,  as  provided  by  the  regulations   of   the   department, either within such municipal corporation or elsewhere within   the  state;  and  for the payment of reasonable expenses of such members   and other police officers or peace officers of  the  municipality  while   going to, attending, and returning from any training school conducted by   or  under  the  auspices of the federal bureau of investigation, whether   within or without the state. Notwithstanding any inconsistent  provision   of  any general, special or local law to the contrary, whenever a member   of the police department of  a  municipal  corporation  has  attended  a   police training school, the expense of which was borne by such municipal   corporation,  terminates  employment with such municipal corporation and   commences employment with any other municipal  corporation  or  employer   county  sheriff,  such employer municipal corporation or employer county   sheriff shall reimburse the prior  employer  municipal  corporation  for   such  expenses,  including, salary, tuition, enrollment fees, books, and   the cost of transportation to and from training school, as follows: on a   pro rata basis, to be calculated by subtracting from the number of  days   in  the  three  years following the date of the member's graduation from   police training school, the number of  days  between  the  date  of  the   member's graduation from training school and the date of the termination   of  employment  with  the  municipal  corporation  which  paid  for such   training, and multiplying the difference by the per diem  cost  of  such   expenses,  to  be calculated by dividing the total cost of such expenses   by the number of days in the three  years  following  the  date  of  the   member's  graduation,  if  such change in employment occurs within three   years of such member's graduation from police training school. Provided,   however, the employer municipal corporation or employer  county  sheriff   shall  not  be  required  to  reimburse  the  prior  employer  municipal   corporation for that portion of such expenses which is  reimbursable  by   the  member  to the prior employer municipal corporation under the terms   of an employment or labor agreement.  Provided,  further,  however,  the   employer  municipal  corporation or employer county sheriff shall not be   required to reimburse the prior employer municipal corporation for  such   basic  training if such change in employment occurs after the expiration   of  the  validity  of  the  member's  certificate   attesting   to   the   satisfactory  completion  of an approved municipal police basic training   program.
