Duties and powers of special constables
61 Duties and powers of special constables
A special constable—
has any duties imposed by the Commissioner; and
has, while holding appointment as a special constable, the same powers, responsibilities and immunities as a member of SA Police subject to any limitation imposed by the Commissioner.
The Commissioner may, when appointing a special constable, impose limitations on his or her powers, responsibilities or immunities—
if the appointment is made orally under section 59(3)(a)—orally; or
if the appointment is made by instrument in writing—by the instrument of appointment.
If a limitation is imposed orally, the instrument confirming the appointment of the special constable under section 59(4) must specify the limitation.
The Commissioner may, by notice in writing to a special constable, vary or revoke a limitation imposed under this section.
