Local departments accuse the bill of including handicapping provisions, such as a prohibition on any off-duty employment, effectively crippling most reserves since they are uncompensated while on duty.

This bill is gross mis- justice for for small towns and villages that rely heavily on their police reserve forces to protect their citizens. These entities don’t have the budget to provide a full time police force and allow their officers to work off duty employment. Reserve officers are more likely to make an arrest off duty and need their authority.
