1. Vested by law with ownership of and full responsibility for detention officer's certificates, the Board's policy is to ensure that certificates are issued only to fully qualified detention officers and revoked when appropriate and that all certificates are accounted for at all times. The law specifies that any certificate for a detention officer issued as a result of the Jail Officer Training Program is the property of the Board. Although the certificate is issued in the name of the individual detention officer, the Board shall place the certificate in the stewardship of the employer and shall retain the right to require return of the certificate to the Board. The employer shall not transfer a certificate issued by the Board to any person or agency except through the Board director.31 Miss. Code. R. 101-3.2
