which adopt a reciprocal ordinance to provide mutual police aid in case of
emergency. This agreement shall apply whenever the City of Brigantine may

to protect life and property or to assist in suppressing a riot or disorder
and whenever another municipality in this county which has enacted a reciprocal
ordinance may experience a similar emergency requiring additional police assistance.

to request assistance from the Chief or other head of the Police Department
of another municipality within Atlantic County to provide aid during and after

the same powers, authority, rights and immunities of the members of the police
force of the municipality to which assistance is rendered.
