Description
Special conservators of the peace; training, orders of appointment, etc. Makes various changes to the laws providing for the appointment of special conservators of the peace, including (i) requiring the Criminal Justice Services Board to adopt regulations establishing compulsory minimum training standards; (ii) prohibiting special conservators of the peace from using the title "police" on any badge, uniform, or vehicle; (iii) prohibiting special conservators of the peace from using blue flashing lights and sirens on any vehicles; (iv) prohibiting special conservators of the peace from displaying any insignia or words indicating that he is a law-enforcement officer; (v) prohibiting persons required to register with the Sex Offender and Crimes Against Minors Registry from being appointed as special conservators of the peace; (vi) removing the option that a special conservator of the peace be covered by bond instead of liability insurance or self-insurance; and (vii) providing that as of January 1, 2016, no special conservator of the peace shall use the seal of the Commonwealth unless he is employed by a museum owned and managed by the Commonwealth. The bill provides that any existing special conservator of the peace has 24 months to comply with any new compulsory, minimum, entry-level training standards and requirements established following his appointment. This bill is a recommendation of the Virginia State Crime Commission. Read the Bill »

Comments
This bill is long overdue.....thank you for putting tighter rules on conservators. Some companies have started adding law enforcement in their name. Putting police on their security cars which is very deceiving. Makes citizens think they are fully sworn police which is scary as they are not fully trained and carrying a weapon. I think it more changes are due.
