### sec.122M Grounds for immediate suspension of authority
Despite section 122J , the chief executive may immediately suspend a crossing supervisor’s authority, by written notice given to the crossing supervisor, if the chief executive reasonably believes it is necessary because—
public safety, particularly the safety of children, has been endangered, or is likely to be endangered, because of the authority; or
it is otherwise necessary in the public interest.
Without limiting the chief executive’s powers under subsection (1) , it is enough to immediately suspend a crossing supervisor’s authority if—
a person complains to a police officer about the crossing supervisor’s conduct and the chief executive reasonably believes—
the complaint is not trivial, vexatious or otherwise lacking in substance; and
the alleged conduct complained of justifies taking action under subsection (1) ; or
having regard to statements or other information about the crossing supervisor’s conduct given to the chief executive, the chief executive reasonably believes the statements or other information justifies taking action under subsection (1) .
