HB 1503 -- Capitol Police

Sponsor:  Bruns

This bill requires the Director of the Department of Public
Safety to appoint a capitol police chief who will appoint capitol
police officers.  Currently, all capitol police officers are
appointed by the department director.  Capitol police officers
will be authorized to apply for and to serve search warrants
anywhere within their jurisdiction if the sheriff of the county
in which the warrant is to be served, or his or her designee, is
notified upon application of the search warrant.  The authority
of capitol police officers to arrest a person is expanded to
include anywhere in Cole County.
