10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'>Some years ago when I looked into this in
Maine I was told that there would be 60 some odd hours of training required,
time at the Law Enforcement Academy and that nationwide there were major
efforts to get out of the “Sherrif’s badge for a political donation” approach.
The article is leaving out some detail..can anyone fill in. For what it is
worth for those of us holding a Federal DEA license I have been told that rules
around that trump local deputization, I’d be interested in hearing further
explanation…<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
