Info about NYPD Auxiliary cops

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_City_Police_Department_Auxiliary_Police

they are unpaid - dont have guns - only have 140 hours of training -
but do most police work - except violent calls

Make arrests for crimes not committed in their presence but only if
ordered to do so by a regular police officer or a police dispatcher.
In 1991, the New York State Court of Appeals determined that Auxiliary
Police officers are covered under the "fellow officer rule", and
therefore may detain a person based on information from a dispatcher
or police officer heard over a police radio or from a police officer
in person, and therefore are considered as a law enforcement officer
with reliable information when making a report themselves to other law
officers.[14]

openness - live audio scanner - can arrest someone on orders of a
dispatcher - what if they hear the dispatcher via a scanner?
