CITY SEEKS MARSHAL APPLICANTS
Mayor's Committee Seeks Qualified New
Candidates
Retired City Law Enforcement Officers Appointed as Marshals May Now Collect
their Pensions
STEVEN M. COHEN, Chairman of the Mayor's Committee on City Marshals
http://www.nyc.gov/html/mccm/html/home/home.shtml, announced a new recruitment
drive for City Marshal applicants after enactment of a new State law that allows
retired New York City Police Officers, Correction Officers, Deputy Sheriffs, and
Fire Marshals to serve as City marshals while receiving their pensions.
Until Governor George Pataki signed the bill last week, a retired City
law-enforcement officer who was appointed as a City Marshal had to forfeit his
or her City pension. That rule resulted from a Court of Appeals decision some
years ago interpreting several sections of City and State law that prevent City
retirees from "double dipping" - simultaneously collecting a pension and a
salary from the same public employer. The new law was supported by Mayor
Bloomberg and the New York City Council.
Mr. Cohen said, "The work of a City Marshal is sensitive, sometimes dangerous,
and is best carried out by men and women who are knowledgeable about the law,
accustomed to following rules and able to remain calm in stressful situations.
Retired City police officers, correction officers, deputy sheriffs, and fire
marshals offer training, skills, and experience that appear well-suited to those
requirements. The public was ill-served by the previous law, which, as a
practical matter, removed from consideration a whole category of qualified
applicants, including many minority candidates, with precisely the kinds of
training, skills, judgment, and maturity needed in a City Marshal."
Mr. Cohen said the perverse effect of the previous restriction, rather than
preventing inefficient "double dipping," was to prevent retired law enforcement
officers from using the pensions they had earned to help them absorb the
expenses of starting-up new businesses as City Marshals.
City Marshals are independent public officers that are appointed by the Mayor
and are not salaried City employees, said Mr. Cohen. They receive no City funds
and cost the taxpayers nothing. Instead, they earn fees,
set by State law, for enforcing the orders of the New York City Civil Court,
including evictions, towing, seizures of utility meters, and money judgments.
City Marshals must follow strict rules and keep detailed records prescribed by
the Appellate Division of the New York State Supreme Court and the Department of
Investigation.
Qualifications for appointment as a City Marshal include United
States citizenship, New York City residence at the time of appointment, a
minimum age of 18, high school graduation or its equivalent, submission of
required background and financial information to DOI, satisfactory completion of
an approved training program, and a demonstrated ability to obtain a required
bond, which is currently $100,000. Candidates must undergo DOI background checks
and be recommended for appointment by the Mayor's Committee on Marshals. Mr.
Cohen said that the Committee provides equal opportunity to all qualified
applicants. Applications can be found at www.nyc.gov/marshals.
There are currently 39 City Marshals who carry out thousands of court orders
each year. They include four new Marshals who were appointed by Mayor Bloomberg
in 2005 and 2006, based upon the Committee's recommendations.
