Pursuant to the provisions of N.J.S.A. 40A:14-156, the governing body
of the Borough of Gibbsboro hereby agrees to the provision of reciprocal police
assistance, as hereinafter prescribed, with those municipal corporations in
Camden County and in those counties contiguous to Camden County which demonstrate
their reciprocity by their enactment of this chapter.
It is hereby expressly provided that, upon committing such reciprocal
police assistance, as hereinafter prescribed, no payment shall be required
to be made by the assisted municipality to the municipality providing such
assistance. This exclusion will include, but is not necessarily limited to,
police salaries, cost of automobiles, motorcycles, use of police dogs and/or
the cost of other equipment or expenses incurred by providing such assistance.
This provision of nonpayment is in lieu of those rates of pay and rentals
set forth in N.J.S.A. 40A:14-156 and as required by law.
Any of the concurring parties may withdraw from and terminate their
part in this agreement at the end of any calendar year, provided that notice
of such intention to terminate shall be given no later than November 1 of
each year to each participant herein. Otherwise, the agreement shall remain
in force on a yearly basis.
The Mutual Aid Operations Plan promulgated by the Camden County Chiefs
of Police Association prescribing the specifics of emergency reciprocal police
assistance is hereby incorporated by reference without inclusion herein. Such
Mutual Aid Operations Plan will be periodically updated, but such updated
version will not be enacted until distributed to each and every party hereto
for their edification and whatever action they may deem appropriate.
The Chief of Police shall annually, and as soon after the end of the
year as practicable, furnish the respective governing body with a summary
report of services rendered and received with his comments and recommendations.
