    The Law is the law

    It becomes more entertaining everyday what others pass on as laws.
    You would think persons licensed thru the state would understand the laws they are licensed under.

    If only those tasked to enforce the law knew the laws they are citing violators for breaking. How hard is it really to do your homework call and have the law sent to you hard copy? Please read it and then ask questions of those qualified to explain it. So you may understand your actions and enforce the laws properly. So that those actually quilty could be convicted with due process and those innocent released swiftly.

    For those interested here is some information that might help.

    This portion for Deputy Chiefs, that questioned my Concern for safety in the city.

    Police Officer yes even those in the city of Syracuse, NY and Onondaga County, NY, can not work as private contractors doing security work.

    UNLESS they work for a licensed Private Investigator or a Watch, Guard or Patrol Agency while doing security work.

    Yes they are exempt from training but not from being employed by the above stated agencies. Note elsewhere in this blog is a letter from the State stating this fact. You can also find it in the general business laws art. 7 and 7a of the state of New York. By the way these laws the police also have to enforce as per their oath of office as police officers.

    They would only be exempt under Art 7 sec 83. while in the performance of their OFFICIAL duties. Which means they would have to be paid for by the taxpayers on a Municipal Police department payroll.

    Not a private facility like Cricket stores, Pilot Truck stops, P&C grocery, or Kinneys Drug stores, and Green Hills Farms. Even if they are given 1099s or paychecks, They are still avoiding paying NYS sales tax and possibly not reporting income.

    For Specials that have not kept up their training. Therefore you may not be aware of all the rules governing your actions.

    Special Deputies also are violating the laws along with the rules and regulations of the Sheriff himself. They wear their official uniform, while collecting funds from private entities for security work including axcess control.

    Their own Standard Operating Procedure manual from the Sheriff, states they are volunteers and to follow the General Business law Art 7 and 7a. So therefore if the sheriff does not call, the special deputies in for work. They are unauthorized to wear their badge, while making a profit for the illegal security duties. When working for a licensed company they are not authorized to wear a Sheriff's badge while doing Security work.

    LICENSED WATCH, GUARD OR PATROL AGENCIES, and PRIVATE INVESTIGATORS

    As for licensed companies even they are not above having problems.

    They need to figure out the difference between a License and a registration.

    Along with complying the requirements of due diligence and training their own personnel. Their own people perjuring themselves about training. All of these dishonest acts and breaking the law is making the security industry look bad.

    You that break the law and forge documents, to get your credentials. You know who you are and yes we know that some of you read this blog. Lets fix this problem. Before you discredit all the Good hard working Law enforcement officials and security professionals.

    The laws state you must provide regular, frequent and consistent guidance, instruction, oversight.

    I will state it here. I have asked the Attorney Generals Office to put out some documentation to address these errors, to you, your departments and/or companies. I asked that no one need get in serious trouble, if they quit doing the illegal acts. BUT if you proceed to break the law after being informed you were at fault. I hope for full prosecution, to the fullest extent of the law.

    You have laughed, but some of you have checked and found, I state only the truth.

    Why do you, and you know who you are, continue to Break the law to make a dollar and put others at risk. It may be alittle more difficult to do it PROPERLY.

    Yet in the end, the proper way is the safest way and That is what we are all here for isn't.
    TO PROTECT LIFE AND PROPERTY.

    Most of you all can qualify and do this the legal way. Why not try it, then we might all get along.

    If we dont agree with law then change it. Thats what makes America great. Its we the people that run the country. Lets start doing it and let the officials know we hold them all accountable for upholding the laws, the goverment is for the people by the people.

    Thank you for reading this. Feel free to post away your comments.

    I always like new information and facts. I for one can agree everything changes too fast to always be current to the minute.

    I strive to continually improve my performance by seeking training and educational opportunites that better prepare me to carry out my duties.
