Revisor's Note.
This subsection is new language derived without substantive change from former Art. 23, § 256(d).
The term "railroad company" is substituted for the former term "railroad" for clarity and consistency with other revised articles of the Code. The term "railroad" usually connotes a common carrier by rail and the physical plant and equipment of the common carrier.

Revisor's Note.
This subsection is new language derived without substantive change from former Art. 23, § 256(b).
The references to a "[r]ailroad police" officer acting as a police officer "for a railroad company" are added for clarity because this subtitle applies only to railroad police officers, and not to other police officers.
The reference to an "individual" is substituted for the former reference to a "person" because only an individual, and not the other entities included in the defined term "person", may be appointed to act as a railroad police officer. See § 1-101 of this article for the definition of "person".
The phrase "by the Governor" is substituted for the former phrase "by the State" for clarity because the Governor issues appointments under this subtitle. See § 3-405 of this subtitle.
The former phrase "selected by a railroad" is deleted as implicit because the railroad police officer is acting as a police officer for a railroad company. Defined Terms.
