It can depend on the place and circumstances that the detaining takes place. If he is on duty and at his place of employment or (if curcumstances warranted it) an occurrence at his employment that required an apprehension off his employers property, yes, he probably can. However, if he is off duty and sees criminal activity occurring his authority then, is no more than that of a routine citizen. He may make a "citizen's arrest" but other than that, he possesses no statutory authority or power of arrest when he is off work.
