SB 5783: Peace officers/assisting DOC

Authorizing peace officers to assist the department of corrections with the supervision of offenders.

Summary

  • Requires the Department of Corrections to create a pilot program in which its duty officers, upon request of a general authority peace officer, would be required to respond to the location of the peace officer when the duty officer determines that a supervised offender at that location has violated the terms of the offenders supervision and that the violation merits either a warrantless arrest or search of the offender by the duty officer.
