In allocating funds to the Baldwin County Community Corrections Fund, the Baldwin County Commission shall take into account the reasonableness of fees being charged and collected for the programs, as it is the intent of the Legislature that the Baldwin County Pretrial Release and Community Corrections Board charge and collect supervision fees so that programs under this part, whenever appropriate, will be self-supporting.

(d) Any personnel employed pursuant to this part responsible for supervision of defendants and designated as a probation officer as defined by the Baldwin County Pretrial Release and Community Corrections Board shall have the same authorities and powers vested in deputy sheriffs and other law enforcement officers of the State of Alabama and shall be required to meet the same qualifications as law enforcement officers.
