Bill overview
This bill revises provisions relating to public safety in Nevada, primarily concerning the organization of metropolitan police departments. It allows participating political subdivisions (like counties and cities) to establish specialized law enforcement units, such as park ranger or marshal units, even after merging with a larger metropolitan police department. These units can operate with limited jurisdiction under specific circumstances, including through interlocal agreements, and officers within these units are considered ‘police officers’ for certain benefits. The bill also requires officers in these units to wear portable event recording devices and makes conforming changes to existing laws.
