SB 872, as introduced, Hall. Local law enforcement: supplemental services.
Existing law authorizes the county board of supervisors on behalf of the sheriff, and the legislative body of any city on behalf of the chief of police, to contract to provide supplemental law enforcement services to private individuals, private entities, and private corporations in specified circumstances and subject to certain conditions. Among those conditions are that, prior to contracting for ongoing services to private corporations or private entities, the board of supervisors or legislative body, as applicable, shall discuss the contract and the legal requirements of those contracts at a duly noticed public hearing.
This bill would extend that authorization with respect to providing supplemental law enforcement services to private schools, private colleges, or private universities on an occasional or ongoing basis. The bill would require, prior to contracting for these ongoing services to be provided to a private school, private college, or private university, the board of supervisors or legislative body, as applicable, to discuss the contract and the legal requirements of those contracts at a duly noticed public hearing.
