As you can clearly see. The statute is broken down into (3) different definitions. For you dumb azz's. You can see LEO is defined as " Detection and Prevention " of crimes with FULL ARREST POWERS. No where in their definition does it say anything about supervision! Then, the Corrections part talks about " Care Custody and Control" of inmates. Finally, the Probation part says nothing about " Detection and Prevention " of crimes. Because the Probation aspect is after the fact. Now, how can you be a LEO with limited arrest powers with over half of you not even carrying a firearm? Hell, if you want to go from a Probation Officer to a true LEO, you have to go back to a LEO academy! So, as said before, stop trying to be something that you are not. You are embarrassing yourself and you look stupid.

I have held my tongue long enough. I have allowed you to express your opinion many times. That time is now up. This is the last thread and last post about this topic that I will allow. You are going to just have to agree to disagree with the other side of the argument.

FYI, it is not agreeing to disagree. We would love to be present when a P.O. tells us they are a LEO. Gee, is it a 3rd degree felony when you impersonate a LEO in this state?

Yep. Better than a photo

Glad to see you are starting the Probation Academy. Just remember, you will be a certified Correctional Probation Officer after you finish the class and pass the test. Be proud of that. You do not come out as a Certified Law Enforcement Officer.

Don't listen to the above idiot. You carry handcuffs, chemical agent, and a gun. You have arrest powers, you are a law enforcement officer. Period.

No, they do not carry any of these items until certified as a CPO. And, out of six new officers in my Circuit, one went back for the firearms class. So, you seem to be the stupid one here. But hey, we all could of seen that months ago.
