Summary

Replaces the powers that may be provided in the power of appointment for a special conservator of the peace (SCOP), which currently may include all powers, functions, duties, responsibilities, and authority of any other conservator of the peace, with only the duties for which the SCOP is qualified by training established by the Department of Criminal Justice Services. The bill requires the order of appointment to provide that such duties shall be exercised only in the geographical limitations specified by the court. The bill requires that the order delineate a limit beyond which the SCOP may not effectuate an arrest following a close pursuit. The bill prohibits all SCOPs from using the word "police" and all SCOPs other than those employed by a state agency from using the seal of the Commonwealth on their equipment in the performance of their duties. The bill provides for certain exceptions from its provisions for SCOPs employed by the Shenandoah Valley Regional Airport Commission and the Richmond Metropolitan Transportation Authority, provided that such SCOPs meet all the requirements for law-enforcement officers, including the minimum compulsory training requirements.
