(1) Eligibility and procedure for appointment.

(2) Training, law enforcement procedures and firearms and other qualifications.

(3) Wearing of uniforms.

(b) Commissions for deputy waterways conservation officers expire on December 31 of the year in which they were issued. No person has a right, title or interest in being commissioned as a deputy waterways conservation officer nor an expectation that his commission will be reissued for a subsequent year. Commissions are issued until December 31 and no longer.

(c) The district waterways conservation officer or region manager may temporarily suspend the commission of a deputy waterways conservation officer for failure to comply with the policies established by the Bureau of Law Enforcement. The Executive Director or a designee may permanently revoke the commission of a deputy waterways conservation officer when revocation is deemed to be in the best interests of the Commission.
