Bill overview
This bill allows county sheriffs in Nevada to enter into written agreements with certain federal agencies, enabling their employees to enforce state and local laws within the sheriff’s jurisdiction. These federal employees would need to be certified by the Peace Officers’ Standards and Training Commission, but the bill exempts them from the standard one-year certification timeframe. The agreement must be limited to two years, specify the laws to be enforced, designate the positions involved, and outline grounds for revocation. It also clarifies that federal employees under these agreements can only exercise peace officer powers while performing duties related to the agreement.
