The number of regular and special policemen shall be determined by, and each such policeman shall be appointed by, the city council, except as it may delegate the appointive power to the police chief. Special policemen shall have the powers vested in the regular city policemen. Such special policemen shall, however, serve only when and as specifically required by the police chief, and shall function only under the direction of the police chief. They shall assist the police chief whenever called upon and whenever so called shall be compensated for services rendered, as the city council may determine. No special policeman shall be on duty as a special policeman at any time or place without being ordered to do so by the police chief, and no special policeman shall be paid for police services directly by any person other than the appropriate city official.
