Sec. 210. Police powers—oath of office.

A policeman shall have all the powers of any conservator of
the peace, and of a constable in criminal cases, and all other powers,
which, under the laws of the City, may enable him to discharge
the duties of his office. Every policeman, before entering
upon the discharge of his duties as such, shall take the oath
of office prescribed by the laws of the State, a certificate of which
shall be filed with the Chief of Police.
