I was curious and did a bit of research. Special Constables have all the same powers in BC as any other peace officer. So yes they can arrest, write tickets, enforce laws, etc.
That being said, I suspect the actual operations manual of each police department are designed to only use full constables for enforcement duties, and use special constables for more mundane tasks to free up resources. But technically, yes they can write tickets if they had to.
