Permits probationary or temporary appointment of law enforcement officer as State or county investigator under certain circumstances.

This bill allows certified law enforcement officers to serve in temporary investigator roles. Specifically, it permits permanent officers with active police training certification to receive a probationary appointment as a State or county investigator for up to 120 days while completing required investigator training. During this period, they may perform full investigator duties. Upon successful training completion, they can apply to the Police Training Commission for permanent investigator licensure, with the temporary appointment remaining valid until the commission reviews their application. The bill directly affects law enforcement officers seeking to transition into investigator positions.
