     299C.03 Superintendent; rules.  

    The superintendent, with the approval of the commissioner 
 of public safety, from time to time, shall make such rules and 
 adopt such measures as the superintendent deems necessary,

 299C.08, 299C.10, 299C.11, 299C.17, 299C.18, and 299C.21, to

 cooperate with the respective sheriffs, constables, marshals, 
 police, and other peace officers of the state in the detection 
 of crime and the apprehension of criminals throughout the state, 
 and shall have the power to conduct such investigations as the 
 superintendent, with the approval of the commissioner of public 
 safety, may deem necessary to secure evidence which may be 
 essential to the apprehension and conviction of alleged 
 violators of the criminal laws of the state.  The various 
 members of the bureau shall have and may exercise throughout the 
 state the same powers of arrest possessed by a sheriff, but they 
 shall not be employed to render police service in connection 
 with strikes and other industrial disputes.
