Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia:

1. That � 15.2-1734 of the Code of Virginia is amended and 
 reenacted as follows:

� 15.2-1734. Calling auxiliary police officers into service; 
 police officers performing service to wear uniform; exception.

A. A locality may call into service or provide for calling 
 into service such auxiliary police officers as may be deemed necessary (i) in 
 time of public emergency,; (ii) at such times as there 
 are insufficient numbers of regular police officers to preserve the peace, 
 safety, and good order of the 
 community,; 
 (iii) at any time for the purpose of assisting in or providing school security 
 services to Virginia public elementary and secondary 
 schools; or 
 (iii) (iv) 
 at any time for the purpose of training such auxiliary police officers. At all 
 times when performing such service, the members of the auxiliary police force 
 shall wear the uniform prescribed by the governing body.

B. Members of any auxiliary police force who have been trained 
 in accordance with the provisions of � 15.2-1731 may be called into service by 
 the chief of police of any locality to aid and assist regular police officers 
 in the performance of their duties.

C. When the duties of an auxiliary police officer are such 
 that the wearing of the prescribed uniform would adversely limit the 
 effectiveness of the auxiliary police officer's ability to perform his prescribed 
 duties, then clothing appropriate for the duties to be performed may be 
 required by the chief of police.
