  1-d.  Notwithstanding  the  provisions  of  subdivision  one  of  this
section,  the  sworn members of the police force of the county of Nassau
AND THE SWORN MEMBERS OF THE POLICE FORCE OF THE COUNTY OF SUFFOLK shall
be subject to  the  following  procedure.  Where,  because  of  economy,
consolidation  or  abolition  of functions, curtailment of activities or
otherwise, positions in the competitive class are abolished  or  reduced
in  rank  or  salary  grade, suspension or demotion, as the case may be,
among incumbents holding the same or similar positions shall be made  in
the  inverse  order  of original appointment on a permanent basis in the
grade or title in the service of the governmental jurisdiction in  which
such  abolition  or  reduction  of  positions  occurs,  subject  to  the
provisions of subdivision seven of section eighty-five of this  chapter.
Notwithstanding  the  provisions  of this subdivision, however, upon the
abolition or reduction  of  positions,  those  employees  who  have  not
completed  their  probationary service shall be suspended or demoted, as
the case may be, before any permanent incumbents, and among such  proba-
tionary  employees  the  order of suspension or demotion shall be deter-
mined as if such employees were permanent incumbents.
  S 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
