   Existing law prescribes the powers and authority of peace
officers, and provides that, among other peace officers, a coroner

capacity, are peace officers if their primary duties are within
certain specified duties pertaining to inquests, as specified.
Existing law establishes the extent of the authority of these peace
officers, and provides that those peace officers may carry firearms
only if authorized and under terms and conditions specified by their
employing agency.  
   This bill would include within the definition of peace officer
describing coroner and deputy coroner, part-time and volunteer
personnel who perform the duties of a deputy coroner, as specified,
if those part-time and volunteer personnel meet the same background,
training, and certification requirements established by the
