Local correctional officers provided in Peace Officers Discipline Procedures Act.
HF 1398 amends Minnesota's Peace Officers Discipline Procedures Act to explicitly include local correctional officers in existing disciplinary definitions. The bill clarifies that "correctional officer" and "officer" now specifically cover those employed in local correctional or detention facilities for security purposes. This change ensures local correctional officers are directly covered under the same disciplinary procedures as other peace officers when facing formal discipline. The bill makes no new policy changes but updates definitions to include these officers in current processes.
