KRS 277.270: Railroad policemen, how appointed and removed.

(1) Any company owning or operating a railroad in this state may apply to the Governor

to appoint and commission as railroad policemen such persons as the company

designates. The Governor, upon such application being made and upon the payment

to him of a fee of five dollars ($5) for each policeman to be appointed, shall appoint

such persons as the company designates, or as many thereof as he deems proper to

be such policemen, and shall give commissions to those appointed.

(2) When a railroad company no longer n eeds the services of a railroad policeman so

appointed, notice to that effect, signed by the general manager or by the person in

charge of operating the railroad, may be filed in the several offices in which the

commission of the policeman is recorded. The clerk shall note the fact upon the

margin of the record where the commission is recorded, and thereupon the power of

the policeman shall cease as to any particular county in which such notice is so filed

and recorded.
