(a)The division shall maintain the Central State Registry of Police Officers and Peace Officers, pursuant to section 845 of the Executive Law. The division shall enter into such registry all information concerning police or peace officers required to be reported by employers by such law and in accordance with such rules and regulations as the commissioner may adopt to ensure the accuracy of such information and integrity of the registry as a public record.
(b)The division shall not enter the name of any person in the registry if it has knowledge that such person is not lawfully appointed or eligible to be a police or peace officer, notwithstanding the submission of the name of such person by an employer for registration.
(c)Where the division has cause to believe that any person whose name is submitted for entry in the registry or who is registered as a police or peace officer may not be eligible, the division shall proceed pursuant to section 6056.6 of this Part.
(d)When it shall appear to the commissioner or the commissioner’s designee that there is a material inaccuracy in an employer’s reporting of the reason an officer ceased to serve pursuant to paragraph (b) of subdivision 2 of section 845 of the Executive Law, the division may proceed pursuant to section 6056.7 of this Part.
