Auxiliary Police 28
Auxiliary Police 28 : United States: (4) New York City: A NYPD Auxiliary Police car. The New York City Police Department Auxiliary Police is a division of the Patrol Services Bureau. It comprises unpaid and unarmed (except for a woodstraight baton) volunteer officers who primarily patrol on foot, in police cars, and on bicycle to increase the public's perception of police "omnipresence" and to assist as the "eyes and ears" of the NYPD. In 2008, the NYPD revised the training course to include training in domestic violence and terrorism awareness. All Auxiliary Police officers are required by New York State to pass an annual refresher course in the use of force with the straight wood baton, arrest procedures, and Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) in order to maintain their peace officer certification. Auxiliary Police officers can make arrests for crimes that occur in their presence and for crimes that weren't committed in their presence based on information from a dispatcher or police officer heard over a police radio or from a police officer in person. This authority was established by the New York Court of Appeals in the case of People v. Rosario, 78 N. Y. 2d 583, 585 N. E. 2d 766, 578 N. Y. S. 2d 454 (1991) . Auxiliary Police officers wear virtually the same uniform as regular officers, and are equipped with wood straight wood batons, bullet resistant vests, police radios directly linked to the Central dispatcher, other Auxiliary officers, and Regular officers, flashlights, whistles, handcuffs, and reflective traffic vests. Their badge is a seven point star, in contrast to the shield worn by regular officers. Auxiliary Police officers are certified by NYS Division of Criminal Justice Services (DCJS) as "Part Time Peace Officers without Firearms Training" and are registered as peace officers in the NYS DCJS registry of peace officers
