15.315 Kentucky Law Enforcement Council.
The Kentucky Law Enforcement Council is hereby established as an independent
administrative body of state government to be made up as follows:
(1) The Attorney General of Kentucky, the commissioner of the Department of State
Police, directors of the Southern Police Institute of the University of Louisville, the
dean of the College of Law Enforcement of Eastern Kentucky University, the
president of the Kentucky Peace Officers Association, the president of the Kentucky
Association of Chiefs of Police, the Kentucky president of the Fraternal Order of
Police, and the president of the Kentucky Sheriffs' Association shall be ex officio
members of the council, as full voting members of the council by reason of their
office. The Kentucky special agent in charge of the Federal Bureau of Investigation
shall serve on the council in an advisory capacity only without voting privileges.
Each ex officio member may designate in writing a person to represent him or her
and to vote on his or her behalf.
(2) Eleven (11) members shall be appointed by the Governor for terms of four (4) years
from the following classifications: a city manager or mayor, three (3) Kentucky
sheriffs, a member of the Kentucky State Bar Association, five (5) chiefs of police,
and a citizen of Kentucky not coming within the foregoing classifications. No
person shall serve beyond the time he or she holds the office or employment by
reason of which he or she was initially eligible for appointment. Vacancies shall be
filled in the same manner as the original appointment and the successor shall be
appointed for the unexpired term. Any member may be appointed for additional
terms.
(3) No member may serve on the council with the dual membership as the
representative of more than one (1) of the aforementioned groups or the holder of
more than one (1) of the aforementioned positions. In the event that an existing
member of the council assumes a position entitling him to serve on the council in
another capacity, the Governor shall appoint an additional member from the group
concerned to prevent dual membership.
(4) Membership on the council does not constitute a public office, and no member shall
be disqualified from holding public office by reason of his membership.
