The board may, with the approval of the county judge/executive, appoint, to
serve at the pleasure of the board, one (1) or more persons, of more than
twenty-one (21) years of age, as parole officers. The parole officers shall
apprehend or arrest, and take into custody wherever found in this state children
who escape from the home, and return them to the home. Parole officers shall
also, under the direction of the board, convey children of the home to any point
in the state, and perform such other duties as the board requires of them. Such
officers shall also have the general powers of peace officers.
In making the apprehension or arrest of such escaped child, in any county
other than that in which the home is located, the parole officer shall first secure
a writ or process issued by the District Judge of the county wherein the home is
located authorizing the parole officer to make such apprehension or arrest and
to return the escaped child to the home, and this writ or process shall be the
parole officer's authority in the premises.
