Section Pol 302.08 - County Fair Security Guards

The following shall apply to county fair security guards:

(a) County fair security guards, before exercising the detention powers contained in RSA 627:8-b, shall satisfactorily complete the New Hampshire law package portion of the training provided for part-time police officers at the expense of the individual or the county fair association. "Satisfactory completion" means the same as in Pol 302.01(b);

(b) The chief executive officer of the county fair association that employs a county fair security guard shall conduct a background investigation consistent with the provisions of Pol 301.05 and shall not authorize any person to exercise such detention powers who would be disqualified under Pol 301.05(g);

(c) Any county fair security guard who is armed with a firearm shall complete the entire part-time police officer's basic training course and shall complete the minimum annual firearms safety requirement in Pol 404.03 at least once a calendar year, at the expense of the individual or the county fair association, under the supervision of a council-approved firearms instructor, as outlined in Pol 404.05;

(d) Only security guards who meet the requirements outlined in (a) through (c) above, shall exercise the detention powers contained in RSA 627:8-b. Security guards who will not be exercising such detention powers shall not be required to attend these training courses;

(e) Certified police officers who meet the definitions in Pol 101.24 or Pol 101.30 shall be exempt from the provisions of this section, but shall instead comply with all the requirements applicable to full-time or part-time police officers, as the case may be; and

(f) The county fair association shall keep on file a current list of all security guards with detention powers, together with documentation of its compliance with these requirements, which shall be open to inspection by the council staff or any police officer with jurisdiction in the area in question. Such records shall be retained for 5 years.
