The Board of Trustees of the Village of Sag Harbor 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 an event of consequence requiring
the adjoining of local police forces to assist each other and coordinate
and orchestrate their efforts for effective management of the emergency
circumstance. By this local law, the Village 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 Department.
The Chief of Police of the Village of Sag Harbor Police Department
is hereby delegated the powers otherwise provided the chief executive
officer to grant and request police assistance under and pursuant
to § 209-m, Subdivision 3 of the General Municipal Law.
