§149.2. Capitol police constituted as peace officers; bond; jurisdiction
When discharging their duties on said state property or on the state capitol complex, capitol police are hereby constituted as peace officers with the right to exercise the power of arrest and the power to transfer arrested persons to the sheriff of the parish wherein the arrest was made and shall have the authority to carry weapons at all such times. Such persons, officers, or guards shall be bonded in the amount of ten thousand dollars in the exercise of their functions and the premiums on such bonds shall be paid from the budget of the superintendent of state buildings and grounds. However, nothing herein shall be construed so as to limit the jurisdiction of the capitol police to only those buildings and grounds under the supervision of the superintendent of the state buildings and grounds or the state capitol complex, but such jurisdiction shall extend to all state owned or leased buildings and grounds when requested by a state agency in or on such property.
