Re: Whether Government Code section 614.122 requires a county attorney to issue identification cards to unpaid investigators of his office (RQ-0641-GA)
S U M M A R Y
Government Code section 614.122 requires a law enforcement agency or other governmental entity that appoints or employs a peace officer to issue an identification card to its full-time and part-time peace officers. Investigators appointed by the county attorney are peace officers. Full-time and part-time peace officers are defined as compensated peace officers for purposes of this provision. Section 614.122 does not require the Brazos County Attorney to issue identification cards to uncompensated investigators that he has appointed.
