Provide for certain Department of Correctional Services employees to be law enforcement officers

Summary

The bill amends Nebraska’s statutes to expand the definition of “law enforcement officer” to include employees of the Department of Correctional Services who are designated as such by the department. By redefining the term, these correctional staff gain the same legal authority and responsibilities as other officers, such as making arrests. The change clarifies who is covered and repeals the previous version of the definition.
