Deputization - Wikipedia has no articles on this process. What are the legal ramifications of someone being temporarily deputized as a law enforcement official? Who has the authority to deputize someone? Does someone so deputized have the full authority of a more traditionally appointed law enforcement official? How does modern deputization compare to the more common (?) practice in the American Old West? I think these are all intriguing questions that Wikipedia doesn't seem to touch on at all.

National Emergency Declaration Act 2020 Australian Act passed in 2020 that "establishes a framework for the declaration of a national emergency by the Governor-General, on the advice of the Prime Minister; enables ministers to suspend, vary or substitute administrative requirements in legislation they administer in certain circumstances; and enables the Prime Minister to require Commonwealth entities to report on available stockpiles, assets and resources, and options and recommendations to respond to a national emergency." Wikipedia has an important page on Canada's
Emergencies Act but not so for the law in Australian context. The passed Australian bill is also extremely broad, allowing an emergency to be declared "consistent with the ‘all hazards’ approach, if an emergency has caused, is causing, or is likely to cause harm that rises to the level of national significance." Therefore, not just limited to an environmental disaster, for example. All information available here:
