220. Police officers in plain clothes to carry credentials. [§ 12, Act V, 1861].

This, however, shall not do away with the necessity of detective warrants being carried by those who have been provided with them.While such officer shall obey the orders of the senior railway police officer present, every facility shall be given them by the Railway Police to perform the specific duty for which they are deputed. They shall be allowed to take up a position most advantageous for their purpose and due regard shall be given to their suggestions.
