Whenever a county investigator is a defendant in any action or legal proceeding arising out of and directly related to the lawful exercise of police powers in the furtherance of his official duties, the prosecutor shall provide the investigator with the necessary means for the defense of such action or proceeding, but not for his defense in a disciplinary proceeding instituted against him by the prosecutor or in a criminal proceeding instituted as a result of a complaint on behalf of the prosecutor. If any such disciplinary or criminal proceeding instituted by or on complaint of the prosecutor shall be dismissed or finally determined in favor of the investigator, he shall be reimbursed for the expense of his defense.
