the authorised person to whom the authority relates; and
if the authorised person is an authorised civilian—the authorised person’s supervisor.
The notice must state why the authority is amended or cancelled.
The amendment or cancellation takes effect on—
the day the written notice is given to the authorised person; or
if the notice states a later date of effect—the stated date.
The chief officer may delegate a function under this section (see s 42).
