Bill Summary
This bill permits the probationary or temporary appointment of a law enforcement officer as a State or county investigator under certain circumstances. Under the bill, a permanent law enforcement officer who holds an active certification in the basic training course for police officers or State police may receive a probationary or temporary appointment as a State or county investigator for a total period not exceeding 120 days from the date of appointment for the purpose of enabling the officer to be trained and certified as a basic investigator. The bill authorizes the law enforcement officer to perform the functions or duties of a permanently appointed investigator during the officer's probationary or temporary appointment. Upon successful completion of a probationary or temporary appointment, the bill provides that the law enforcement officer may apply to the Police Training Commission for licensure as a permanent investigator. Under the bill, the probationary or temporary appointment remains in force and effect until the commission acts upon the application for licensure.
AI Summary

Upon completing this temporary appointment, the officer can apply to the Police Training Commission for permanent investigator licensure, and their temporary appointment will remain valid until the commission makes a decision on their application. This provision aims to streamline the process for experienced law enforcement officers to transition into investigator roles.
