CPSO, and he does not participate on behalf of CPSO in any capacity regarding such contract, subcontract, other transaction. Therefore,if Mr.Thompson remains uncompensated for his services to CPSO,then Mr.Thompson and/or Rock Solid Aviation may contract with CPSO to provide its planes and to train pilots for CPSO provided Mr. Thompson does not participate on behalf of CPSO in any capacity regarding such contract, subcontract, other transaction in accordance with La. R.S. 42:1102(15). Further, if CPSO enters into contracts with other vendors to provide pilot training, Mr. Thompson and/or Rock Solid Aviation is prohibited from renting planes to those vendors for compensation while that vendor has a contractual, financial, or business relationship with CPSO. CONCLUSION The Board concluded, and instructed me to inform you, that the Code does not prohibit Mr. Thompson and/or Rock Solid Aviation from entering into a contract with CPSO to provide its planes and to train pilots for CPSO,provided that Mr. Thompson remains an uncompensated law enforcement officer, is not an agency head, and does not participate on behalf of CPSO in any capacity regarding such contract, subcontract, other transaction in accordance with La. R.S. 42:1102(15). Additionally, Mr. Thompson and Rock Solid Aviation are prohibited from receiving compensation for the rental of planes to vendors that have contracts with CPSO to train pilots.
