Expands law enforcement powers of fire department chiefs in Kentucky fire protection districts.
The bill amends Kentucky law to grant chiefs of fire departments in fire protection districts the same powers of arrest, search, and seizure as sheriffs. These chiefs are also declared conservators of the public peace, tasked with enforcing laws and preserving order. However, they are excluded from serving subpoenas, summonses, and notices in civil cases and do not receive fees for their law enforcement duties.
