prior POBOR mandate reimbursements, POBOR I and POBOR II, have

COMMENTS:
Background. The Peace Officers Bill of Rights (POBOR) provides
peace officers with procedural protections relating to
investigation and interrogations of peace officers,
self-incrimination, privacy, polygraph exams, searches,
personnel files, and administrative appeals. When the
Legislature enacted POBOR in 1976 it found and declared "that
the rights and protections provided to peace officers under this
chapter constitute a matter of statewide concern."
Deputy sheriffs, in specified counties, employed to perform
duties exclusively related to custodial assignments involving
the custody, care, supervision, security, movement, and
transportation of inmates are covered by POBOR.
Legislation in 2012, created a new classification of Correction
Officer for the newly-created Modified Community Correctional
Facilities. However, community corrections officers were not
included within POBOR at the time.
Purpose. This bill will provide community correctional officers
the same protections other correctional officers currently have.
