When employees are so designated, they are, in lieu of arrest, authorized to issue
citation tickets, summons, and legal process. In the event the form of such citation
ticket includes information and is sworn to, as required by general laws of the state,
with respect to a complaint charging the commission of the offense alleged in such
citation ticket, when filed with a court or a branch of a court having jurisdiction,
it shall be deemed to be a lawful complaint for the purpose of prosecution under the
section specified.
