Currently Waco Fire Marshal’s Office carries the peace officer commissions for a total of ten (10) personnel. Of these ten: five are currently assigned to the Prevention Division, one is listed as the Chief Administrator, and four are listed as reserve officers for the Marshal’s Office. The Chief Administrator is in the process of being changed which will increase the number of reserve officers to five.
Current practices require those whose commission is carried by the Department to perform functions related to the responsibilities of the Fire Marshal’s Office that require this peace officer certification; i.e. fire arson investigation to include cause and origin determination (city wide), enforcing laws, ability to arrest responsible parties
