161  Simplified overview of Division
      This Division provides maritime security guards with limited powers to:

                (a) request people to produce identification and state reasons for being in maritime security zones; and
                (b) restrain and detain people; and
                (c) remove unauthorised people from maritime security zones if they do not leave when requested to do so; and
                (d) remove unauthorised vehicles and vessels from maritime security zones if a guard is unable to have the vehicles or vessels removed by persons in control of them.

      The Division establishes restrictions on these powers, such as limiting the amount of force that may be used. The power to detain a person is also restricted to the period before the person can be dealt with by a law enforcement officer.
      Regulations must establish requirements to be met before a person can become a maritime security guard.
