Texas State Board Of Dental Examiners: Fill & Download for Free

Briefly, a police officer is one who has the legal ability to write traffic citations, and can work for a city, town, village, county or a state. A peace officer may be employed as a police officer, or as an investigator for a regulatory agency. An example of this is an investigator with the Texas Board of Dental Examiners is a peace officer, but he has no power to issue traffic citations.A deputy sheriff is a peace officer who can give traffic citations so he/she is, technically, a police officer. A federal special agent is frequently given powers by a state’s law to act as a peace officer, but they do not hand out tickets. Thus, a DEA agent can be a peace officer, but not a police officer.Confused yet?Police = traffic tickets and criminal investigationsPeace Officer = criminal investigations, but no traffic tickets

As Bruce said, not override but refuse it. If a prescription is from an Ear, Nose, and Throat Doctor for a vaginal antifungal, it is outside the Doctor's scope of practice. In Texas, the Pharmacist is to check with the Doctor as to why it was prescribed. If it is to actually be used on a fungal infection in the area which the Doctor practices, then that is noted on the prescription and it is filled. If it is to be used outside of the Doctor's scope of practice, then no it is not filled. I have had Dentists get furious when I refuse a prescription from them to treat a vaginal yeast infection triggered by an antibiotic they prescribed. The last time I looked, one of the FAQs on the Texas State Board of Dental Examiners was that subject. The Official answer was No! A Dentist is prohibited from treating a vaginal yeast infection, even if the antibiotics from a Dental infection caused it. Even a DMD is still limited to Dentistry.

I would imagine that in every state peace officers are empowered to interdict felonious activity wherever they may be located in that state.In Texas, for example, most federal officers are considered (under the Code of Criminal Procedure) as peace officers, and could enforce state law if necessary. Others, such as peace officers employed by the Texas Board of Dental Examiners, cannot enforce traffic law. Depending on interlocal agreements in place, a deputy sheriff may be empowered to enforce local ordinances as well as state law.Some local officers are granted limited federal powers. I and several members of the sheriff’s office where I worked were commissioned as “Special United States Deputy Marshals”, working with their fugitive apprehension task forces. Other officers, especially those who work on the border, regularly work with the Customs and Immigration authorities.The way it was explained to me when I graduated from the police academy, a peace officer has a “duty to act” to interdict crime when he sees It, although that duty may just be limited to making a call to 9–1–1 and being a good witness.
