The Penal Code provides the statutory definition of “peace officer”.
SB 229 expands the statutory definition of “peace officer” to include deputy sheriffs in Amador and Nevada Counties, whose duties are primarily custodial.
As a result, SB 229 provides that deputy sheriffs in Amador and Nevada Counties are now covered by and entitled to rights under the Public Safety Officers Procedural Bill of Rights Act.
(SB 229 amends Section 830.1 of the Penal Code.)
