Proposed law could change hiring practices at Schenectady County Sheriff’s Department, other agencies | The Daily Gazette
SECTIONS
A newly proposed piece of legislation in the state Senate could bar law enforcement agencies from hiring officers who’ve left or were fired from previous agencies.
The legislation, released May 3, came just days after the Schenectady County Sheriff Dominic Dagostino fired his stepson Daniel Coppola following a driving while intoxicated arrest in Colonie on April 26.
A Manhattan Democrat, State Sen. Brian Benjamin originated the proposal: “I believe police officers should be held to a higher standard because the nature of their power is so great,” he said.
