Sacramento Municipal Code Ch. 2.12 Arrest and Citation Authority

The provisions of this chapter shall govern the designation of certain city job classifications requiring citation issuance and arrest authority, and the designation of individuals holding positions within those job classifications who have the power to issue citations and make arrests for violations of provisions of this code and specific state laws which those individuals are required to enforce.

It is not the intent of this chapter to designate such persons as "peace officers" for any purpose. The intent of this chapter is to establish authority for citation issuance and arrests pursuant to Penal Code Section 836.5 as that section now exists, or as it may in the future be amended or renumbered. (Prior code § 30.03.013)

The city manager shall have the authority to designate those city job classifications which require citation issuance and arrest authority. Only such classifications as contain positions which have the duty to enforce provisions of this code or a specific state statute shall be so designated. (Prior code § 30.03.014)

Pursuant to the authority vested in the city council under California Penal Code section 836.5, the persons occupying positions within the job classifications designated pursuant to section 2.12.020 have the authority to issue citations and make arrests for violations of this code or the pertinent state statutes that they have the duty to enforce. (Ord. 2018-0023 § 1; prior code § 30.03.015)
