North Dakota Administrative Code › Title 109 - Peace Officer Standards and Training Board › Article 109-02 - Peace Officer Standards › Chapter 109-02-02 - Licensing and Training Requirements › Section 109-02-02-04 - Limited peace officer license

Current through Supplement No. 393, July, 2024
1. The board may
				issue a limited peace officer license to an individual who is in good standing
				and has completed the educational, medical, and psychological examination
				licensing requirements and has been qualified to carry a sidearm.
2. The application for the limited license
				must be made by the individual's employing agency. A peace officer with a
				limited license must work under the supervision of an officer with a full-time
				peace officer license. Supervision of a peace officer with a limited license
				means the supervising officer has the ability to have direct personal contact
				with the peace officer with a limited license within a reasonable time and the
				peace officer with a limited license is able to have direct personal contact
				with the supervising full-time peace officer within a reasonable
				time.
3. A limited license is
				effective until the individual has successfully completed the first available
				basic full-time peace officer training course and has successfully completed
				the licensing examination.
4. The
				board may authorize an individual to attend a subsequent basic full-time peace
				officer training course upon a showing of good cause by the agency or
				individual. The board may renew the limited license once if the individual
				failed the licensing examination. An individual with a limited license may
				retake the licensing examination within thirty days after the first examination
				and upon payment of the examination fee. If an individual with a limited
				license fails the licensing examination a second time, the individual shall
				successfully complete a basic full-time peace officer training course before
				the individual may retake the licensing examination. The individual shall
				obtain a limited license if the individual will attend the basic full-time
				peace officer training course at the law enforcement training center.
5. If a peace officer with a limited license
				is no longer employed with the agency that applied for the limited license, or
				if the peace officer fails to attend and successfully complete the first
				available basic full-time peace officer training course without the prior
				approval of the board, the peace officer's limited license expires.
6. An applicant for a part-time peace officer
				license may not receive a limited peace officer license.
7. An individual who has not been issued a
				limited license may not perform peace officer duties under this section. North
				Dakota Century Code section 12-63-02 requires an individual to be licensed
				before performing peace officer duties. North Dakota Century Code section
				12.1-13-04 makes impersonating a law enforcement officer a class A
				misdemeanor.
