HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES STAFF ANALYSIS BILL #: CS/HB 489 Railroad Police Officers SPONSOR(S): Criminal Justice Subcommittee; Stone and others TIED BILLS: IDEN./SIM. BILLS: REFERENCE ACTION ANALYST STAFF DIRECTOR or BUDGET/POLICY CHIEF 1) Criminal Justice Subcommittee 11 Y, 0 N, As Cunningham Cunningham CS 2) Justice Appropriations Subcommittee 13 Y, 0 N McAuliffe Jones Darity 3) Judiciary Committee SUMMARY ANALYSIS The Criminal Justice Standards and Training Commission (CJSTC) establishes uniform minimum standards for the employment and training of law enforcement officers (LEOs). Currently, CJSTC certifies a person for employment as an LEO if: The person complies with s. 943.13(1)-(10), F.S.; and The employing agency complies with s. 943.133(2) and (3), F.S. Section 943.10, F.S., defines the term “law enforcement officer” to include only those elected, appointed, or employed full time by any municipality, the state, or any political subdivision of the state. Similarly, the definition of the term “employing agency” only includes agencies or units of government, municipalities, the state, or any political subdivision of the state that has the authority to employ officers. Section 354.01, F.S., authorizes the Governor to appoint “special officers,” which are persons employed by railroads for the protection of the railroad’s employees, passengers, freight, equipment, and properties. Special officers are required to meet the law enforcement qualifications and training requirements of s. 943.13(1)-(10), F.S., but they are not certified law enforcement officers because they do not work for an “employing agency.” Railroads and common carriers that employ special officers are not considered employing agencies because they are not governmental entities. -

Box 32159 Newark, New Jersey 07102 Re: Newark Monitorship Proposal and Response Dear : On behalf of my monitoring team, I submit this response to the Newark Communities for Accountable Policing (N-CAP). We welcome this opportunity to share with N-CAP, and the broader Newark community, the proposal we submitted to the Department of Justice on February 13, 2015. Accordingly, enclosed, please find six copies of our proposal. The copies are unredacted since we, like N-CAP, believe that complete transparency in the selection process is essential from the very first. We also address N-CAP's specific questions. Although we answer each question individually, the questions seem (rightly) focused on two concerns: (1) how will our monitoring team engage with N-CAP, other stakeholders, andthe Newark community to be certain that residents understand the Consent Decree, the role of the Monitor, and have an effective voice in reshaping the Newark Police Department?; and (2) how will our monitoring team ensure that the reforms embodied in the Consent Decree outlive the Decree and the Monitor and firmly take root within the Police Department? The answer to the second is largely, if not wholly, dependent on the first. Newark is faced with a historic opportunity- to create a police department that prizes transparency, accountability, and engagement with the community, not just for five years, but forever. -

Recommendations for a Hybridized Public Private Law Enforcement
Recommendations for a Hybridized Public Private Law Enforcement Approach Approved: Cheryl Banachowski-Fuller 3/28/2019 i Recommendations for a Hybridized Public Private Law Enforcement Approach Benjamin M. Finn University of Wisconsin – Platteville Under the Supervision of Dr. Susan M. Hilal ii Acknowledgments Pursuing a Master’s Degree was a big step for me and could not have been possible without the never-ending support from my wife, Charissa. She cleared the way for me around a busy home to have the quiet time I needed to focus on this immense achievement, and I am forever grateful. The faculty and staff of UW-Platteville have been supportive the whole way, and special thanks goes to Dr. Susan Hilal for the guidance, and especially encouragement, that was crucial in seeing this through. iii Abstract Purpose The purpose of this study is to explore the use of privatized entities within the law enforcement sector, primarily focusing on the United States, but with a cursory look at similar practices worldwide. The study examines particular obstacles such as constitutional issues, costs, recruitment deficits, and training/standards necessary for implementation, and how those are overcome in its implementation. This study also looks at various privatization models within comparable institutions to see what could work in law enforcement and identify best practices from other sectors, like the military, that have used private entities to deliver some of its law enforcement services. Methods Information for this study came from a review of secondary sources. These sources were from accredited journals, textbooks, agency websites, and government reports. The significant components of the private and government law enforcement partnerships that are identified through this research were compared to determine if similarities exist among the successful (and unsuccessful) attempts. -
