-
- Recognizing
the need for limiting of the number of Auxiliary law
enforcement officers in this state, a political subdivision
is given the authority to appoint Auxiliary law enforcement
officers and the political subdivision shall have no
more Auxiliary law enforcement officers than the larger
number of:
- One
(1) Auxiliary law enforcement officer for each Full-Time
certified law enforcement officer employed by the
appointing law enforcement agency; or
- One
(1) Auxiliary law enforcement officer for each one
thousand (1,000) persons in the political subdivision
as determined by the latest official census.
- However,
if due to special or unusual problems or circumstances,
any political subdivision has a need for a greater number
of Auxiliary law enforcement officers than is authorized
in subdivisions (a)(1)(A), it may make a request to
the Arkansas Commission on Law Enforcement Standards
and Training for the additional officers. Each request
shall state the special or unusual problems involved
which justify the request, the number of additional
officers requested, and such other information as the
Commission may require. If the Commission finds that
the public interest will best be served by allowing
the political subdivision to appoint the additional
Auxiliary law enforcement officers requested, it may
grant the request.
- Honorary
police officers, those without law enforcement authority,
are not restricted in number by this section.
