request.
Examples of the above types of situations may include but not be limited to:

service where the officers and/or equipment of the party requesting assistance

Page 3 of 10

It is not the intent of this Agreement to circumvent any collective bargaining agreements
in place within either jurisdiction in regards to staffing and payment of overtime to cover
shift shortages. Rather it is the intent of this Agreement to maximize the effectiveness,
efficiency and safety of the officers and personnel of all of the local governments while
working their pre-scheduled shift with the exception of pre-established on-call
specialized investigative teams.
3. TERM OF THE AGREEMENT.
This Agreement shall be effective <<DATE>> and shall terminate on <<DATE>>,
unless otherwise terminated as set forth herein.
4. RENEWAL.
This Agreement may be renewed automatically for successive terms of one (1) year,
not to exceed five (5) years in total.
5. POWER AND AUTHORIZATION.
Each party authorizes the officers working at the time mutual aid is needed to
communicate any request for temporary assistance from the other party. This request
should be communicated by the supervisor or officer in charge of the shift of the
requesting agency at the time, whenever possible. All requests for, or provisions of aid
are at the discretion of the respective Sheriff or Chief. Any request for assistance that
is pre-planned and/or will be of longer duration (i.e. training, large-scale pre-planned
events) should be made in advance and come through the respective Sheriff, or Chief.
The judgment of each municipality rendering aid as to the amount of personnel,
supplies and equipment available shall be final.
The obligation to render mutual aid is strictly voluntary in nature. It does not place any
of the local governments under any obligation to respond to a request for mutual aid or
assistance of the other party that it is unable or unwilling to honor. Such law
enforcement aid may be provided on an actual or standby basis.
Nothing in this Agreement shall diminish a Responding Party's authority to maintain
sufficient personnel, manpower, and equipment in its own jurisdiction in order to render
aid to a Requesting Party. Should a Responding Party require any loaned personnel or
equipment be returned to the Responding Party jurisdiction at any time, then the
Responding Party may recall such personnel and equipment or any part thereof. The
Responding Party shall inform the Requesting Party of its intent to withdraw from the
situation.
Pursuant to General Municipal Law sections §119-n(c) and § 119-0, officers assisting
another local government outside their normal geographical area of employment shall
have all powers and authority of law enforcement officers in such other jurisdiction as
provided by law, including the power of arrest.
Page 4 of 10
6. CONTROL OF PERSONNEL AND EQUIPMENT.
The officer in charge of the Requesting Party shall be in command of the operation(s)
under which the equipment and personnel sent by the Responding Party shall serve;
provided that the responding personnel and equipment shall be under the immediate
supervision of the officer in charge of the Responding Party, if more than one officer
responds. Command, however, may be relinquished to a ranking or senior officer of
the party rendering assistance under the terms of this Agreement.
Additionally, each Municipality shall carry all police officers as an employee of the
Municipality and shall be deemed the sole general employer of such officers. No
Requesting Party under this Agreement shall be deemed a special employer to any
Responding Party officers providing assistance under this Agreement.
For the purposes of this Agreement, when involved in routine law enforcement work of
a non-emergency nature, temporary assignments and training exercises, the law
enforcement agency from which the equipment is assigned, or which is providing the
training, or which is sponsoring the training exercise shall be deemed the assisting local
government.
Further, each party authorizes the respective Sheriff, Chief or their designee, to pre-
arrange training exercises and programs, as well as temporary assignment of officers
and/or equipment to another law enforcement agency for training or investigatory
purposes.
7. WITHDRAWAL OF ASSISTANCE.
It may become necessary for the Responding Party to withdraw part or all of the
personnel, equipment, or other support being provided to the Requesting Party. All
parties acknowledge that assistance may be withdrawn when circumstances require
redeployment of assets to the Responding Party's own jurisdiction. The primary
responsibility of a law enforcement agency is to the citizens of its jurisdiction.
To the extent possible, jurisdictions adjacent to the Responding Party may endeavor
to backfill vacancies left in a Responding Party's home jurisdiction to alleviate the need
to recall responding personnel and equipment from an incident scene.
8. COMPENSATION AND EXPENSES.
All individuals shall retain their entire pension, disability, contractual and compensation
rights (including workers' compensation and General Municipal Law 207-C benefits)
while performing duties in accordance with this Agreement. All salaries, legal and
contractual benefits, and other personnel costs together with equipment and supply
costs will be the responsibility of the respective local government/municipality
employing the officer.
Neither participant, as a Requesting Party, shall be obligated to compensate the
Responding Party for services rendered by or injuries to the Responding Party's
personnel, or for the use or damage to the Responding Party's equipment. Specifically,
and without limiting the foregoing, the Requesting Party shall have no obligation for
payment of wages or withholding for unemployment, workers compensation, General
Municipal Law 207-C benefits, or for the payment of any other benefits to the personnel
Page 5 of 10
of the Responding Party. Each participant hereto hereby expressly waives all claims of
whatever type or nature, except for gross negligence, against the other and its
personnel, which may arise out of the performance of this Agreement.
9. LIABILITY AND INDEMNIFICATION.
Neither party shall incur any liability or responsibility for the failure to respond to any
request for assistance made pursuant to this Agreement. This Agreement shall not be
construed as or deemed to be an Agreement for the benefit of any third party or parties,
and no third party or parties shall have any right of action whatsoever hereunder for any
cause whatsoever.
Neither party shall be required to indemnify the other for any claim arising out of
participating under this Agreement. Each party shall be responsible for defending its
own respective entity in any action or dispute that arises in connection with or as a
result of this Agreement and that each party will be responsible for bearing their own
costs, damages, losses, expenses and attorney fees. Each party shall be obligated to
notify the other of any claims or lawsuits received arising out of any mutual aid
operations.
All immunities from liability enjoyed by the local government within its boundaries shall
its participation in rendering aid under this Agreement outside of its
boundaries unless otherwise provided by law. All the immunities from liability and
exemptions from laws, ordinances and regulations which law enforcement officers
employed by local governments which are parties to this Agreement have in their own
jurisdictions shall be effective in the jurisdiction in which they are giving aid unless
otherwise provided by law or this Agreement.
10. INSURANCE REQUIREMENTS
Each municipality entering into this Mutual Aid Agreement will provide evidence of a
Law Enforcement Liability Insurance Policy with limits of liability of at least $2,000,000
with an AM Best Rating of A- or better by AM Best Company.
11. RULES AND REGULATIONS.
At all times all officers operating under this agreement shall adhere to the policies and
procedures of the department for which they are employed. Individual officers shall not
use tactics or procedures that violate their own department policy, procedures, rules,
or training. Officers of the Responding Party should take commands from supervisors
in their own jurisdiction while responding to overall directives from the requesting
department's incident commander. Officers shall only use tactics that they have been
trained and are qualified to use. Vehicles, firearms, equipment and apparatus furnished
in or for mutual aid shall only be operated by personnel trained in the proper use of
same.
It is understood that under no circumstance will privately owned vehicles or equipment
be utilized in providing mutual aid unless commandeered or authorized by the
commanding officer of the local government receiving aid, with the exception of
individual officer equipment that is authorized by the employing agency.
Page 6 of 10
12. COOPERATION AND LINE OF DUTY DEATH OR INJURY.
In the event a mutual aid or assistance situation results in an officer-involved shooting,
accidental injury or other event or results requiring investigation or review, both parties
will cooperate and consult with each other in the conduct of such investigation or
review. Each local government and each law enforcement agency will make available
to the other any information or resources necessary to conduct such investigation or
review.
With respect to such incident, the Sheriff and Chief, or their designee, will fully
communicate, consult, and cooperate with each other to ensure that a thorough,
efficient and effective investigation or review is conducted, and that unnecessary
duplication is avoided. The results of such investigation shall be shared with each local
government directly involved.
The effect of the death, injury or disability of any officer who is killed, injured or disabled
outside the territorial limits of either participating entity while in the performance of this
Agreement, shall be the same as if they were killed, injured or were to become disabled
while that officer was functioning within its own territorial limits, and such injury or death
shall be considered to be in the line of duty.
