Police Officer and Peace Officer Registry
DCJS administers the state’s Police Officer and Peace Officer Registry. State law requires employers to register newly appointed police officers and peace officers, notify DCJS when an officer separates from service, and annually verify their list of registered officers by January 15 of each year.
Registering Newly Appointed Officers
Employers must submit a Police Officer Registry Entry / Certification of Initial Employment form (DCJS - 2214-a) or Peace Officer Registry Entry / Certification of Initial Employment for each newly appointed police or peace officer.
Modifying Records of Existing Officers
Employers use the web-based Acadis portal to update, remove and annually verify their Registry information. To obtain access to the Acadis portal, employers must complete a Use and Dissemination Agreement.
Employers may email OPS.RecordsMgt@dcjs.ny.gov or call 518-457-2667 for additional information.
