SB 298, as introduced, Wyland. Local government: supplemental law enforcement services.
Existing law provides that a board of supervisors of a county, and a legislative body of a city, may contract to provide supplemental law enforcement services to private individuals or entities at special events or occurrences.
This bill would authorize a board of supervisors of a county, and a legislative body of a city, to contract to provide supplemental law enforcement services to a homeowners’ association on an occasional or ongoing basis.
Existing law provides that a contract entered into by a board of supervisors of a county or a legislative body of a city to provide supplemental law enforcement services shall encompass only law enforcement duties and not services authorized to be provided by a private patrol operator, as defined.
This bill would delete that restriction.
Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no. State-mandated local program: no.
