Section 13.89.010. Basic standards for village police officers.

	(a)  The basic standards for a village police officer are that the person  
		(1) is 19 years of age or older;  
		(2) is a citizen of the United States or a resident alien who has demonstrated an intent to become a citizen of the United States;  
		(3) is of good moral character; misdemeanor convictions, other than minor traffic offenses, during the 10 years before application will, in the council's discretion, be considered by the council in determining moral character;  
		(4) has not been convicted of a felony or been incarcerated, placed on probation, or placed on parole after conviction of a felony, by a court of the United States or of any state or territory during the 10 years before application; a felony conviction in another jurisdiction for an offense which is not a felony in Alaska does not necessarily bar certification unless the felony conviction was for a crime of dishonesty or a crime which resulted in serious physical injury or a threat of serious physical injury; and  
		(5) has no physical or mental condition that would adversely affect the person's performance as a police officer.  
	(b)  Only a village may appoint a person as a village police officer.  
	(c)  A person whose certificate has been revoked by the council is not eligible for hire as a village police officer by a village unless the person's certificate has been reinstated by the council.
