    §  215.  Special  policemen.  For  the purpose of preserving order and
  preventing offenses against the laws prohibiting gambling, the  trustees
  or  directors  of  any  corporation  created  under  or  subject  to the
  provisions of this article are hereby authorized to appoint from time to
  time, five or  more  special  policemen,  and  the  same  to  remove  at
  pleasure,  who,  when  appointed,  shall be peace officers with the same
  powers within and about such grounds as are set forth in section 2.20 of
  the criminal procedure law, whose duty,  when  appointed,  shall  be  to
  preserve  order  within  and  around  the grounds and racetracks of said
  corporation, to protect the property within said grounds,  to  eject  or
  arrest  all  persons  who shall be improperly within the grounds of such
  corporation or who shall be guilty of disorderly conduct, or  who  shall
  neglect  or refuse to pay the fees or to observe the rules prescribed by
  said corporation; and it shall be the further duty  of  said  policemen,
  when  appointed,  to  prevent  all  violations  of law with reference to
  pool-selling, bookmaking and other gambling, and to arrest any  and  all
  persons  violating such provisions, and to convey such person or persons
  so arrested, with a statement of the cause  of  such  arrest,  before  a
  court having jurisdiction of such offense, to be dealt with according to
  the law. The appointment of policemen in pursuance of this section shall
  not  be  deemed  to supersede in any way on the grounds and racetrack of
  such corporation the authority of peace officers or police  officers  of
  the jurisdiction within which such grounds and racetrack are located.
