Sec. 5.5. (a) The authority may, if it determines to do so:
(1) employ its own police officers for the purpose of policing any toll road under its jurisdiction;
(2) designate one (1) or more of such officers for the purpose of policing any toll road under its jurisdiction; and
(3) designate one (1) of such officers as chief or superintendent.
(b) The police officers so employed by the authority are vested with all necessary police powers to enforce the provisions of the laws of the state of Indiana and without writ or warrant for violation thereof when committed in their presence. To this end, police officers employed by the authority shall be peace officers and shall have within the property limits of the toll road project the same powers with respect to the enforcement of laws as have sheriffs, constables, and police officers in their respective jurisdictions. Any warrant of arrest or search warrant issued by proper authority of the state may be executed by any police officers employed by the authority within the property limits of the toll road project.
(c) All uniformed police officers employed by the authority shall carry arms, and nonuniformed police officers employed by the authority may carry arms if in the performance of their duties.
