Privacy protections for police peer counseling
The law creates a peer support framework for police officers employed by New York state agencies and public authorities. Support comes from agency-designated police officers trained in peer counseling, including support after traumatic work experiences. Specialists and participants generally cannot share session communications, notes, reports, or records with outsiders. Exceptions cover suicide threats, suicidal thoughts, self-harm, threats of bodily harm or death, and child abuse or neglect. Sharing is also allowed for legally required reports, admissions of criminal conduct, court orders, or participants consenting to share their own communications. Before the first session, specialists must give participants written notice explaining privacy protections and exceptions. The responsible state division must adopt implementing rules and may set certification, training, recordkeeping, and retraining requirements. The law takes effect 90 days after becoming law; work on implementing rules is authorized immediately.
