SOURCE: GC § 5102 as amended by P.L. 10-91; P.L. 17-78:1; P.L. 18-
13:1. P.L. 24-034:3 (May 14, 1997) repealed provisions of this section that were inconsistent with the act and created a new Chapter 77 within Title
10, governing the Guam Police Department.

2019 NOTE: Past publications of the GCA indicated that this provision had been repealed in its entirety; however, P.L. 24-034:3 (May 14, 1997) stated: “”All provisions of Title 5 Guam Code Ann. § 3103 inconsistent with this Act are repealed.”” The first sentence was not inconsistent and thus, will be included in future publications. Provisions that were inconsistent were repealed.

COMMENT: P.L. 17-78 split the Fire Department from the old Department of Public Safety, leaving the new Guam Police Department. P.L. 18-13 specified qualifications for the Chief of Police. The substantive law governing the Guam Police Department is found in Titles 8, 9, and 10 of this Code.

NOTE: § 3103.1- § 3103.3 and §3103.4 added by P.L. 24-240 and P.L.
24-241, respectively, re-codified as § 77201- § 77203 and § 77301, Articles 2 and 3, respectively, Chapter 77, Title 10 Guam Code Ann..
