101029
. The sheriff of each county, or city and county, may enforce
within the county, or the city and county, all orders of the local
health officer issued for the purpose of preventing the spread of any
contagious, infectious, or communicable disease. Every peace officer
of every political subdivision of the county, or city and county,
may enforce within the area subject to his or her jurisdiction all
orders of the local health officer issued for the purpose of
preventing the spread of any contagious, infectious, or communicable
disease. This section is not a limitation on the authority of peace
officers or public officers to enforce orders of the local health
officer. When deciding whether to request this assistance in
enforcement of its orders, the local health officer may consider
whether it would be necessary to advise the enforcement agency of any
measures that should be taken to prevent infection of the
enforcement officers.
