[HISTORY: Adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Village of Westhampton
Beach 1-11-1985 by L.L. No. 1-1985. Amendments noted where applicable.]
The Board of Trustees has reviewed § 209-m of the General
Municipal Law with particular reference to the authority granted therein permitting
a local government to request from or grant to another local government police
assistance at a time of public emergency or event of consequence requiring
adjoining local police forces to assist each other and orchestrate their efforts
for effective management of the emergency circumstance. By this chapter, the
Board of Trustees seeks to take advantage of Subdivision 3 of § 209-m
permitting the delegation of authority to request and grant police assistance
to the Chief of Police of the local Police Department.
The Chief of Police of the Police Department of the Village of Westhampton
Beach is hereby delegated the powers otherwise provided a chief executive

reference to the powers delegable under Subdivision 3 of § 209-m
of the General Municipal Law.
