Which of the following is NOT considered a peace officer according to the CCP?

The City Mayor is not classified as a peace officer under the Code of Criminal Procedure (CCP). In Texas, peace officers are defined by specific roles in law enforcement, including individuals such as sheriffs, investigators of district attorneys, and fire marshals who have clearly defined legal authority to enforce laws, execute searches, and carry firearms in the performance of their duties.

While the mayor may hold significant authority within the city government and may influence law enforcement policy, the role itself does not grant peace officer status. This distinction is important because peace officers have specific training and responsibilities as recognized by the law, which does not extend to elected officials like the mayor. Understanding the distinction between various governmental roles and their legal powers is crucial for recognizing who is endowed with the authority that peace officers carry.
