### sec.53BE Authorisation by senior police officer A senior police officer may authorise the use of out-of-control event powers (an event authorisation ) in relation to an event if the police officer reasonably believes— the event is an out-of-control event; or the event is likely to become an out-of-control event. The event authorisation must be written and state the following— the date and time the authorisation is given; the location of the event; the circumstances that led the senior police officer to authorise using the out-of-control event powers in relation to the event; the restrictions, if any, on using the out-of-control event powers in relation to the event. However, the event authorisation is not invalid merely because it is not in writing if the senior police officer makes a written record as required under subsection (2) at the first reasonable opportunity after a police officer exercises an out-of-control event power under the authorisation. The event authorisation has effect for 24 hours or a lesser period decided, after the authorisation is given, by— the senior police officer who gave the authorisation; or another senior police officer. s 53BE ins 2014 No. 1 s 4 (sec.53BE-ssec.1) A senior police officer may authorise the use of out-of-control event powers (an event authorisation ) in relation to an event if the police officer reasonably believes— the event is an out-of-control event; or the event is likely to become an out-of-control event.
