OPINIONS OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL

Effect of deputy's failure to take oath.

- Failure of a deputy to take the required oath does not render the deputy's acts taken under color of office to be invalid, inasmuch as notwithstanding the deficiency, the deputy is still a "de facto officer"; the same rule applies where the deficiency is a failure to furnish bond. 1965-66 Op. Att'y Gen. No. 66-211.

Emergency squad members to be qualified as deputy sheriffs.

- A police intelligence unit should provide that members of emergency squads be qualified as de jure deputy sheriffs in all counties in which they intend to operate. 1969 Op. Att'y Gen. No. 69-473.
