Such policemen shall arrest, without previous complaint and warrant, any person for an offense under the provisions of any law for the protection of water supplies, when the offender is taken or apprehended in the act or on speedy information of others; and all persons so arrested shall be immediately presented before competent authority. Each such policeman shall, when on duty, wear in plain view a shield bearing the words “Special Police” and the name of the town, city, borough or company for which he is commissioned.
