626.8461 PART-TIME PEACE OFFICERS; POLICY.
The legislature finds and declares that it is necessary to establish minimum training
requirements for part-time peace officers in certain specified areas to maximize protection of the
rights and safety of the public and to minimize liability on the part of Minnesota counties and
municipalities. The legislature further finds that part-time peace officers are most effectively
utilized as a supplement to regular, fully trained and licensed, peace officers and does not
encourage the use of part-time peace officers when needs for service would otherwise justify the
use of peace officers.
