a crime, or while apprehending the person or persons committing
such crime, and shall not include duties of any character
performed for private employers either on or off the premises of
such employers, provided that no payments shall be made under
this paragraph in the event that the patrol special officer
shall receive the benefits of such compensation law from any
other source.

Commission as the owners of a certain beat or territory which
may be established or rescinded by the Commission. Patrol
special police officers designated as the owners of a certain
