Bradley M. Fuerst, a member of the New York state and local  police  and
fire  retirement  system,  who began employment as a police officer with
the village of Bath on March 22, 2011 and currently remains employed  by

certification  that such police officer did not bar himself from partic-
ipation in such retirement plan as  a  result  of  his  own  negligence.
Thereafter,  such  police  officer  may  elect  to  be  covered  by  the
provisions of sections 384-d and 384-e  of  the  retirement  and  social
security law from the date he commenced his employment as a police offi-
cer by such village, and shall be entitled  to the full rights and bene-
