The Senate counterpart to the House bill establishing search and arrest authority for Community Corrections officers got a boost, this time in the Senate Human Services and Corrections Committee.
SB 5700, like HB 1792, would allow CCOs to search offenders on Department of Corrections property. The bill is supported by DOC.
“This bill is good legislation,” said Ginger Richardson, a CCO in Seattle and member of Local 308. “”It helps protect state employees.”
