There is a newer version of the New York Consolidated Laws
2006 New York Code - Rewards.
§ 14-136 Rewards. a. To members of force. The commissioner for meritorious and extraordinary services rendered by any member of the force in due discharge of his or her duty, may permit any member of the force to retain for his or her own benefit any reward or present, or some part thereof, tendered him or her therefor; and it shall be cause for removal from the force for any member thereof to receive any such reward or present without notice thereof to the commissioner. Upon receiving such notice, the commissioner may either order the said member to retain the same, or shall dispose of it for the benefit of the police pension fund. b. To informers. The commissioner shall have authority to offer rewards to induce any person to give information which shall lead to the detection, arrest and conviction of persons guilty of a felony and to pay such awards to such persons who shall give such information. Such a reward shall be offered only if there be an unexpended appropriation therefor. The city shall make the necessary appropriation for such purpose.
