SECTION 216
Bureau of criminal investigation
Executive (EXC) CHAPTER 18, ARTICLE 11
§ 216. Bureau of criminal investigation. 1. The superintendent may
continue, within the New York state police, a bureau of criminal
investigation and assign to it members of the New York state police in
such numbers and appoint to it such investigative specialists in such
numbers as may be required for the purpose of preventing, investigating
and detecting violations of the criminal laws of the state, and
conducting such other investigations as may be provided for by law.
Members of the New York state police assigned to the bureau of criminal
investigation and investigative specialists appointed to the bureau by
the superintendent shall be classified as (a) investigators; (b) senior
investigators; (c) lieutenants; (d) captains; provided, however, that
investigative specialists appointed to the bureau of criminal
investigation may be appointed as investigators or senior investigators
at salaries to be determined by the superintendent with the approval of
the director of the budget within the range from minimum to maximum
provided for in this section for the positions to which appointments are
made. Investigative specialists appointed to the bureau of criminal
investigation shall be deemed to be members of the New York state police
upon the filing by them of the constitutional oath of office, but shall
not be eligible for transfer to the uniform force unless otherwise
qualified under section two hundred fifteen of this article. The
superintendent may employ, from time to time, within the appropriation,
such skilled experts, scientists, technicians or other specially
qualified persons as he deems necessary to aid the bureau and the New
York state police in preventing or detecting crime, apprehending
criminals, or preparing and presenting evidence of violations of the
criminal laws of the state. Upon request of the head of any state
department, or of any police agency or of any district attorney within
the state, the superintendent may assign to such requesting authority
members of the state police attached to the bureau of criminal
investigation in such numbers and for such periods of time as he may
deem necessary for the purpose of investigating and detecting felonies
committed within the state. Members of the state police assigned or
appointed to the bureau of criminal investigation are empowered to
cooperate with departments of the United States government in the
investigation of violations of the federal laws of the grade of felony
within this state. The superintendent may, from time to time, establish
headquarters or stations in such localities of the state as he shall
deem most suitable for the efficient operation of the bureau of criminal
investigation.

2. (a) There shall be within the bureau of criminal investigation a
hate crime task force. The superintendent shall assign to it such
personnel as may be required for the purpose of preventing,
investigating, and detecting hate crimes as defined in article four
hundred eighty-five and sections 240.30 and 240.31 of the penal law.
When at all possible, the task force members shall assist and support
other law enforcement agencies in preventing, investigating, and
detecting offenses committed due to a perception or belief regarding the
race, color, national origin, ancestry, gender, religion, religious
practice, age, disability or sexual orientation of a person.

(b) The task force shall issue reports and publications, in
conjunction with the division of human rights and the division of
criminal justice services, in order to inform persons of all available
rights and remedies under the penal law as referenced in paragraph (a)
of this subdivision, as well as prohibitions against discrimination
because of age, race, creed, color, national origin, sexual orientation,
military status, sex, disability, familial status, domestic violence
victim status, genetic predisposition status, or marital status as those
terms are defined by article fifteen of this chapter.

(c) The first report issued by the hate crimes task force, as required
by paragraph (b) of this subdivision, shall be issued within ninety days
of the effective date of this subdivision. Subsequent reports shall be
issued annually thereafter.
