(a) The Baldwin County Commission may by resolution implement this part. The Baldwin County Commission upon passing a resolution to implement this part shall by the terms of the same resolution or by separate resolution provide for the method of operation of the part in accordance with terms set forth in Section 45-2-84.01. Upon implementation of this part by the Baldwin County Commission, the Baldwin County Pretrial Release and Community Corrections Board shall be deemed established.
(b) The Baldwin County Commission, upon implementation of this part, may allocate funds to the Baldwin County Community Corrections Fund, as it deems necessary for the implementation, operation, and expansion of the Baldwin County Community Corrections Center and programs established pursuant to this part. In allocating funds to the Baldwin County Community Corrections Fund, the Baldwin County Commission shall take into account the reasonableness of fees being charged and collected for the programs, as it is the intent of the Legislature that the Baldwin County Pretrial Release and Community Corrections Board charge and collect supervision fees so that programs under this part, whenever appropriate, will be self-supporting.
(c) The Baldwin County Commission or its delegated agency authorized to generally superintend all administrative and operational functions pursuant to this part may employ and dismiss personnel, direct, regulate, and supervise personnel, obtain fidelity bonds for the faithful performances of duties, and create positions and set pay grades necessary for the implementation of this part and budget allocations.
(d) Any personnel employed pursuant to this part responsible for supervision of defendants and designated as a probation officer as defined by the Baldwin County Pretrial Release and Community Corrections Board shall have the same authorities and powers vested in deputy sheriffs and other law enforcement officers of the State of Alabama and shall be required to meet the same qualifications as law enforcement officers. This authority shall be limited to carrying out the objectives of this part, taking into custody defendants charged with new crimes while placed in programs pursuant to this part, and things incidental thereto.
