It depends upon your state laws. In Massachusetts, for example, any Boston police officer can enforce state laws and city ordinances on any public way, including state roads, federal property, and shopping mall parking lots that are open to the public.
Improved Answer and Correct One
Boston police officers or no local officer has power on federal ground. That would be a citizens arrest. Which is not wise. The only time a local or Boston police officer has the authority on state ground is when a chase started on local ground and carried on to the states jurisdiction. Now that is just for Massachusetts. Because some do give local police authority on state ground like California. But in Massachusetts the State Police have authority all through out the state including local jurisdiction but not on federal jurisdiction.
And generally citations are not given in shopping malls because that is private property, the police only have authority for criminal arrests on private property. Unless otherwise ordered.
