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)
