Key Takeaways

  • Expands peace officer status to deputy sheriffs in Amador and Nevada Counties.
  • Grants statewide authority to these officers when performing custodial duties or during local emergencies.
  • Aligns authority of deputy sheriffs across California counties for consistent law enforcement.

Summary

Senator Alvarado-Gil's legislation extends peace officer status to deputy sheriffs in Amador and Nevada Counties who perform custodial duties, aligning their authority with counterparts in other California counties. Under current law, deputy sheriffs in select counties, including Butte and Calaveras, hold peace officer status while maintaining county custodial facilities or responding during local emergencies.

The measure maintains existing limitations on these peace officers' authority, which extends statewide only when performing custodial responsibilities or carrying out law enforcement duties during declared local emergencies. These duties include inmate custody, care, supervision, security, movement, and transportation within county detention facilities.
