A former Westchester County police commissioner was caught with a loaded gun without a permit in a park last week — but cops at the scene were ordered by higher-ups to let him go, law-enforcement sources told The Post.

Police responded to a report of a fight between two men at the Kensico Dam Plaza in Valhalla in Westchester on April 14 around 5:20 p.m. There, they found former Mount Vernon Police Commissioner Terrance Raynor, and he fit the description of a suspect involved in the dispute, sources said.

But when cops tried to question Raynor, 52, he became “hostile and uncooperative,” sources said.

He refused repeated requests to remove his hands from his pockets, according to sources.

When cops asked him for identification, Raynor, also the former chief criminal investigator for the Westchester District Attorney’s Office, told them that he did not have to provide it.

Cops quickly cuffed Raynor and removed his gun – a loaded M&P .380 automatic, sources said.

The officers only discovered who Raynor was when they opened up his wallet and found a metal shield that read “Westchester County District Attorney Chief Investigator” and a retired ID card.

Cops asked Raynor if he had a pistol permit, but he responded that he didn’t need one, citing a federal law – the Law Enforcement Officers Safety Act that allows qualified law enforcement and retired law enforcement to carry a concealed firearm in any jurisdiction in the country.

Police determined that Raynor did not possess any permit or documentation to carry the weapon.

Westchester County police Lt. Jerry Steckmeister soon responded to the scene, and the officers were ordered to seize the pistol and release Raynor — even though the cops felt Raynor did not have the proper
gun paperwork and that there is a county prohibition against the possession of firearms in its parks, according to sources.

You need to carry your credentials + your annual qualification card: then you don't need a permit.
If he didn't have the qualification card & the ID (not a fake shield) he should have been locked up...

He might not have followed the requirements. Though he may be able to have a friend pencil whip some documents to say otherwise.

Someone needs to FOIA his records to see if he did at least 10 years & if he left in good standing.

Then they need to check to see which certified instructor qualified him - they have to keep detailed records in case they get subpoenaed.

If he retired from westchester and this occurred in ny state, the leosa wouldn't apply, nor would the 10 year employment minimum. That's only for out of state carry.

My nephew interviewed for a police officer job in San Francisco.  He was doing well up until one hypothetical question.  

You stop a car going the wrong way on a one-way street.  The driver is very intoxicated and happens to be the mayor.  What do you do?  

He answered to the effect that he'd handle this the same way he'd treat anyone else.  Doesn't matter who it is, the law's the law, etc, etc..

Apparently that wasnt the correct answer and he was determined to not be a good fit within the department.

Friend of mine pulled over Congressman Schock about a week before he resigned here in Illinois, he was speeding, my buddy said after he ran the plate he got a call from his Lt. Told to let him slide and get him on his way, reason he had enough shit coming down on him and the ISP didn't need the attention.

Schock had to be doing 90+ since my buddy doesn't light you up unless 15+ over the speed limit.

So you had the correct answer

How much you want to bet that even if he WAS covered under LEOSA due to previous employment that he never did any of the required qualifications

Don't know if I'm reading this right. Does this mean an LEO separated from service in say CA, would have to be tested and certified by his former CA agency if he then wanted to carry legally (under LEOSA) in his new state of residence (TX)?

You can get qualified in the state you move to. You don't have to go to your former agency.
