SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)

Appointment of special conservators of the peace.  Makes it mandatory, rather than permissive, that a circuit court judge appoint a special conservator of the peace upon a showing by the sheriff, chief of police, or corporation authorized to do business in the Commonwealth that there is a necessity for the security of property or of the peace, and that the person or persons to be appointed possess a valid registration with the Department of Criminal Justice Services. The bill allows the judge to deny the appointment for good cause and requires that the specific reasons for the denial be stated in writing in the order denying the appointment.
