The age requirement for Police Officer/Deputy Sheriff in New York State is in conformance with the Federal Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA). The ADEA was amended by Congress on September 30, 1996, to provide an exemption for certain age limitations in state or local law for the hiring of Firefighters and law enforcement officers. The exemption allows states to establish age requirements for positions such as Police Officer and Deputy Sheriff.
