- Title
- District attorneys, investigators, appointment authorized, duties, powers and authority of other law enforcement officers
- Description
Under existing law, many counties, by local law, authorize the district attorney to appoint investigators who serve at the pleasure of the district attorney and provide for the powers of the investigators.
This bill would provide that the district attorney of any judicial circuit in the state could appoint investigators who would serve at the pleasure of the district attorney who appointed them. This bill would require the investigators to meet the minimum standards for law enforcement officers and would provide that they have the same power as other law enforcement officers.
This bill would also provide that any county with a local act providing for the appointment of investigators would operate pursuant to the local act.
