Who has the authority to revoke a certificate of authority issued to adjunct peace officers?

The authority to revoke a certificate of authority issued to adjunct peace officers lies with the Chief of Police. This is because the Chief oversees law enforcement personnel and ensures that officers comply with departmental policies and state laws. If an adjunct peace officer fails to meet the necessary standards or engages in behavior that jeopardizes public trust or safety, the Chief has the responsibility to take disciplinary action, including revoking their certification. This authority is essential for maintaining the integrity and accountability of the police force, as well as ensuring that all officers are fit to serve in their roles. The Mayor, while a significant figure in the governance of the city, does not have the direct responsibility or operational control over the police department to revoke such certificates.
