The Port Authority operates a little differently in various cities. In some larger port cities, such as New York, they hire their own officers to work for them directly. In some other cities, such as Tampa, they hire off duty sheriffs from the county the authority is in.
The officers of this quasi-governmental agency have the same sworn powers of other police agencies and have responsibility for, and jurisdiction over, all Port Authority property and operations within the scope of ports where the authority operates. This includes all the tunnels, bridges, piers, wharves, ferry boats, transit terminals, bus stations, etc - etc -etc., in short - all property in any way connected to the Port Authority.

Can non certified police officer write traffic ticket?
Based on the question, I assume the officer in question is employed by the police department; however, has not completed training through the state. Yes, the police officer can issue a ticket. Although not certified, the officer has been granted authority through the police department, and holds the authority to do anything that a certified officer may do (within reason).
If employed by hospital police and you take a exam to become a Port Authority police officer and fail the drug test can you be reportd and fired?
Let me just start by saying that you should not be a Police Officer. Getting back to your question. As a police officer you have a "Moral Clause" in which your current agency can use to hire you. Since you are already a police officer you should know that if you did drugs (depending on what you did) at one point you were in possession of such drugs. In CA that's a felony. Technically speaking you commited a felony and got away with it. Do the rest of us, hospital police a favor and quit your job.

I don't know what or if there is a term regarding this but I do know that the minor doesn't have to answer any of the questions the police officer asks. You have the right to remain silent even if the police officer has authority. It's not a law that you must answer all questions the police officer asks you.
What do police power and authority consist of?
The power of a police officer lies vested in his physical strength and ability. It is based on this power that he gets enrolled as a police officer. A police officer without power can in no means subdue a criminal, it is vital. Likewise, the authority of a police officer is vested in him through a governmental agency that empowers or clothes him with certain duties that can take authority of to arrest and subdue criminals. Both are very vital in performing successfully as a police officer.I hope this explanation helps.
