House Bill 2585: Sheriff Police Powers

CCAP members may be asked to pass a county resolution in support of HB 2585, legislation purporting to restore sheriff powers lost to recent judicial decisions. CCAP, after careful review by its Courts and Corrections policy committee, believes that the bill in fact goes much farther than simple restoration, and opposes the bill. Additionally, some CCAP members have been hearing from other local governments within their counties seeking support as a means of providing for gaps in local police protection at no cost to that municipality. Please see attachment for points that should be considered by all counties, and may be utilized in conveying the CCAP position.
