As used in this title:
“Police officer” includes the chief of police, any officer or employee of the police department and other persons authorized by the police chief to perform the duties of a “police officer.” In the event of a fire or other casualty requiring the services of the fire department, the police chief may deputize one or more members of the volunteer fire department to maintain and enforce law and order at the scene of the fire or other casualty during the period of time while an emergency continues to exist.
“Street” and “highway” are interchangeable and mean a way used by the public for traffic of vehicles.
“Vehicle” includes every motorized conveyance, including automobiles, trucks, utility vehicles, snowmachines and all-terrain vehicles (ATVs), and every device in, upon or by which any person or property is or may be transported or drawn upon a street or highway, except devices moved exclusively by human power unaided by internal combustion engines or other such mechanical devices for the generation of energy. Devices designed primarily for travel over snow or ice by means of skis, belts, cleats or low-pressure tires are deemed “vehicles” when operated on streets, highways or public property within the city, but not when operated off streets or highways.
