An authorised officer, is any officer of the Local authority who is permitted in writing for the purposes of Part 2 of the Local Government (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 1976 (LG(MP)A 1976).

Although there is no power contained in the Town Police Clauses Act 1847 (TPCA 1847) to designate a local authority officer as an authorised officer, there is no reason why a local authority should not delegate its powers under the TPCA 1847 or other Acts such as section 64 of the Transport Act 1980 (TA 1980), to an officer in accordance with its general powers of delegation under section 101 of the Local Government
