The Mayor and Council of the Borough of Ridgefield may appoint
from time to time special law enforcement officers in accordance with
New Jersey Statutes for terms not exceeding one year. They shall possess
and exercise all the powers and duties provided by said statutes during
their term in office, but shall not be continued as regular members
