3  Minister may appoint persons to be detention officers

 (1) The Minister may, by instrument, appoint one or more persons (except persons who are authorised officers) to be detention officers.

Note: Authorised officers have the same powers as detention officers, as well as other powers, so there is no reason for authorised officers to be appointed as detention officers.

 (2) An instrument appointing persons to be detention officers:
 (a) may identify the persons by reference to a class; and
 (b) may provide for persons to be appointed when they become members of the class at or after a time specified in the instrument.
