Schedules Schedule 2: Operational powers of ICRIR officers
Schedule 2 makes provision regarding the designation of ICRIR officers as persons having the powers and privileges of a constable under section 6. It provides that a designated ICRIR officer has, in each of the jurisdictions of the United Kingdom and its adjacent waters, the same powers and privileges as a constable in that jurisdiction. This is subject to the following:
section 6(3).
a designated ICRIR officer may only exercise the powers and privileges of Scottish constable where: i) a Scottish general authorisation (as defined) is in force, and the powers and privileges are exercised in accordance with that authorisation; and ii) a Scottish operational authorisation (as defined) is in force in relation to a particular operation, and the powers and privileges are exercised in connection with that operation and in accordance with the authorisation.
The powers of designated ICRIR officers can also be restricted by limitations written into the designation itself (on the powers themselves, the purposes for which they may be exercised, or the duration of the designation).
	Any person who assaults, resists, obstructs or impedes a designated ICRIR officer in the execution of that ICRIR officer’s duty, or a person assisting a designated ICRIR officer in the execution of that ICRIR officer’s duty is guilty of an offence.
