Allows sheriffs to authorize plain clothes for auxiliary deputies in disaster or civil disorder situations.
The bill amends the Counties Code to allow sheriffs to authorize plain clothes for auxiliary deputies in matters deemed essential to preventing or assisting with disasters or events of civil disorder, provided they carry proper identification. Auxiliary deputies must receive training in weapons and police procedures, and they cannot carry firearms unless in uniform and performing their assigned duties. They also cannot carry firearms without the sheriff's permission.
