of the peace, or of violating any law of the State beyond the limits
of the city, upon the Chesapeake Bay or on any river, creek, inlet,
water-course, or at any other place on land or water within the State
of Maryland, it shall be the duty of the said Police Commissioner to
cause such person to be followed, and to take the most effectual
means for the suppression and prevention of such outrage, when
any such shall be attempted, and to cause the arrest of all such
offenders; provided, however, that if any crime be actually committed
by such person, the offender shall be delivered to the proper jurisdic-
tion for trial and punishment; any person charged with the com-
mission of crime in the City of Baltimore and against whom criminal
process shall have issued, may be arrested upon the same in any
part of the State by the police force created under this sub-division
of this Article, under such rules and regulations as the Police Com-
missioner may adopt; and the said Commissioner shall have power
to summon witnesses before him and to administer oaths or affirma-
tions to such witnesses whenever, in the judgment of the said Com-
missioner, it may be necessary for the effectual discharge of his
duties under this sub-division of this Article; and any person failing
to appear in answer to said summons, or refusing to testify, shall be
subject to a penalty of not less than twenty-five nor more than fifty
dollars, to be recovered by civil action in the name of the State, to
the use of the said Commissioner, or by indictment in the Criminal
Court of Baltimore; false swearing on the part of any such witness
shall be deemed perjury, and shall be punished as such.

(b) The Police Commissioner shall also perform the duties set
forth in subsection (a) of this section within those areas, outside the
corporate limits of the City of Baltimore, which are, from time to
time, owned, controlled, operated or leased by the Mayor and City
Council of Baltimore, or any agency, commission or department
thereof. In such areas, the authority and duties of the Police Com-
missioner shall be concurrent with that of any police department or
police agency in the jurisdiction in which such areas are located, and
nothing contained herein shall limit or adversely affect the jurisdic-
tion and authority of any police department or police agency in the
jurisdiction in which such areas are located.

provisions contained herein and the provisions of Chapter 203 of the
Acts of 1955 the latter shall prevail.
