ENFORCEMENT OF ANY PROVISIONS OF LAW REQUIRED TO BE
ENFORCED BY THE SECRETARY OR THE DEPARTMENT.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section presently appears as
Article 66C, section 118(b) of the Code.
The reference to the laws required to be
enforced by the "salaried law enforcement
personnel" is proposed for deletion because
the Natural Resources Police Force is
specifically charged with enforcing Natural
Resources laws. The only other changes
made are in style.

1-207. IMPERSONATING AN OFFICER PROHIBITED.

A PERSON MAY NOT FALSELY REPRESENT HIMSELF AS
BEING A NATURAL RESOURCES POLICE OFFICER, WITH
FRAUDULENT DESIGN UPON PERSON OR PROPERTY, OR TO HAVE,
USE, BEAR, OR DISPLAY, WITHOUT AUTHORITY OF THE
SECRETARY, ANY UNIFORM, SHIELD, BUTTON, ORNAMENT, OR
SHOULDER PATCH OF THE DEPARTMENT, OR TO HAVE ANY
SIMULATION OR IMITATIONS OF THESE ARTICLES FOR THE
PURPOSE OF DECEPTION.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section presently appears as
Article 66C, section 118(c) of the Code.
The reference to "employee of the
Department of Game and Inland Fish" is
proposed for deletion. It is believed that
this provision originally was intended to
refer to wildlife officers who formerly
were within this department. The last
paragraph is proposed for deletion in light
of the penalty provision of this subtitle.
The only other changes made are in style.

1-208. ASSISTANCE FROM OTHER OFFICIALS.

(A)    SHERIFFS AND LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS HAVE

POWERS OF NATURAL RESOURCES POLICE OFFICERS.--EVERT

SHERIFF AND LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICER HAS THE POWERS OF
A NATURAL RESOURCES POLICE OFFICER.

(B)    SHERIFFS, STATE'S ATTORNEYS, OTHER LAW
ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS SHALL RENDER

ASSISTANCE.--WHENEVER THE SECRETARY OR ANY NATURAL

RESOURCES POLICE OFFICER REQUIRES THE ADVICE AND
ASSISTANCE OF THE STATE'S ATTORNEYS, SHERIFFS OF THE
SEVERAL COUNTIES OF THE STATE OR BALTIMORE CITY, OR
ANY LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICER, THESE OFFICERS SHALL
RENDER THE REQUIRED ASSISTANCE AS IN OTHER STATE
