Relates to criminalizing the act of stalking a police officer or peace officer

This bill adds new felony offenses to New York's penal law specifically for stalking police officers or peace officers and their immediate family members (spouses, children, parents, or household members). It creates three levels of stalking: third degree (intentional conduct causing fear of harm), second degree (multiple incidents or prior related convictions), and first degree (causing physical injury or escalating crimes). The law defines prohibited conduct as repeated, unwanted contact, following, or communication after being told to stop, with penalties ranging from class E to class D felonies. It directly affects law enforcement officers and their families by providing specific legal protections against targeted stalking behavior.
