Examiners and investigators
14 Examiners and investigators
The
Commissioner may appoint suitable persons to be examiners or investigators for the purposes of this Act.
An appointment may be made subject to conditions specified in the instrument of appointment.
The
Commissioner may, at any time, revoke an appointment of a person or vary or revoke a condition of appointment or impose a further condition of appointment.
A police officer or special constable seconded to assist the
Commission is an investigator.
Unless otherwise agreed, by instrument in writing, between the Commissioner and the Commissioner of Police, a police officer or special constable seconded to assist the Commission may continue to exercise all powers and authorities vested in the person by or under the
Police
Act 1998, or another Act or law, as a member of South Australia Police or constable in the exercise of functions and powers under this Act during the period of secondment (and section 67(3) of the
Police
Act 1998 does not apply in relation to the secondment).
An investigator who is not a police officer or special constable must be issued with an identity card—
containing the person's name and a photograph of the person; and
stating that the person is an investigator under this Act.
If the powers of an investigator have been limited by conditions, the identity card issued to the investigator must indicate those limitations.
An investigator must, at the request of a person in relation to whom the investigator intends to exercise powers under this Act, produce for the inspection of the person—
in the case of an investigator who is a police officer or special constable and is not in uniform—an official card, document or badge identifying the person as a police officer or special constable; or
in the case of an investigator appointed under this Act—his or her identity card.
