Federal law enforcement officers performing duties in Minnesota required to meet minimum qualifications of a Peace Officer Standards and Training Board licensed peace officer.

This bill requires federal law enforcement officers performing duties in Minnesota to meet the same minimum qualifications as state-licensed peace officers. It specifically mandates that these officers hold an associate's or bachelor's degree and comply with the Peace Officer Standards and Training Board's licensure standards. The law applies to officers from agencies such as the FBI, DEA, U.S. Marshals, Secret Service, ATF, DHS, and Postal Inspection Service. Violations of these requirements would be classified as misdemeanors, with repeat offenses treated as gross misdemeanors. The bill amends existing Minnesota statutes to clarify and enforce these qualification standards for federal officers operating within the state.
