Enforcement of WA police orders
50 Enforcement of WA police orders
This section applies if —
a person in another participating jurisdiction is a person against whom a WA police order is in force; and
the person against whom, or for whose benefit, the order is made ordinarily resides in a cross‑border region.
A police officer of the State may exercise the police officer’s powers in relation to the person against whom the order is made.
In relation to the exercise of those powers, the Restraining Orders Act 1997 Part 6 Division 3 has effect for all purposes in respect of any breach of the order in that other jurisdiction.
The law of the State applies (with any appropriate modifications) in relation to those powers.
