Public officers: County of Sacramento.

Under existing law, a sheriff's or police security officer is a public officer whose duties are limited to the physical security of properties owned, operated, controlled, or administered by the county or city, or any municipality or special district contracting for police services from the county or city, and other necessary duties, as specified. This bill would authorize the duties of a security officer employed by the Chief of Police of the City of Sacramento or the Sheriff of the County of Sacramento to also include the security and protection of properties of public agencies, privately owned companies, or nonprofit entities that contract for security services with the City or County of Sacramento, whose primary business supports national defense, whose facility is qualified as a national critical structure, or that stores or manufactures material that, if stolen, vandalized, or otherwise compromised, may compromise national security or pose a danger to residents within the County of Sacramento. The bill would provide for reimbursement to the City or County of Sacramento for providing those services.
