of members of the state police. 1. It shall be the duty of the

superintendent of the state police and of members of the state police to

prevent and detect crime and apprehend criminals. They shall also be

subject to the call of the governor and are empowered to co-operate with

any other department of the state or with local authorities. They shall

also collect and analyze information relating to prevention and

detection of terrorist threats and terrorist activities throughout the

state and share all such information subject to paragraph (g) of

subdivision two of section seven hundred nine of this chapter among the

division of homeland security and emergency services, and local, state,

and federal law enforcement agencies to ensure the coordination of

appropriate intelligence to assist in the early identification of and

response to potential terrorist threats and terrorist activities. They

shall have power to arrest, without a warrant, any person committing or

attempting to commit within their presence or view a breach of the peace

or other violation of law, to serve and execute warrants of arrest or

search issued by proper authority and to exercise all other powers of

police officers of the state of New York. Any such warrants issued by

any magistrate of the state may be executed by them in any part of the

state according to the tenor thereof without indorsement. But they shall

not exercise their powers within the limits of any city to suppress

rioting and disorder except by direction of the governor or upon the

request of the mayor of the city with the approval of the governor. Any

member of the rank of sergeant or above may take pre-arraignment bail

from any defendant in the amounts and under the circumstances and

conditions that police may take bail.

2. The superintendent may, by written order, designate a police

officer, as defined in paragraph (b), (c) or (d) of subdivision

thirty-four of section 1.20 of the criminal procedure law, to assist

members of the state police in order to more effectively address the

detection of crime and apprehension of criminals within the state and

its localities. Police officers so designated, while actively working

in conjunction with members of the state police either directly or as

part of a specific task force, shall be paid by and remain employees of

their particular county, city, town or village, but shall for purposes

of the criminal procedure law, have their geographic area of employment

deemed to be New York state.
