[Amended 11-18-2013 by Ord. No. 1563]
The Mayor is hereby authorized under the authority granted by
MGL c. 40, § 4A (which allows for agreements between local
governmental units), to enter into agreement between the City and
any other city or town, or combination of other cities and towns,
to provide mutual aid programs for police purposes in order to increase
the capability of the City's Police Department to protect the
lives, safety and property of the citizens of the City of Gardner
and those of said other cities and towns which may be a party to such
agreement.
[Amended 11-18-2013 by Ord. No. 1563]
Such mutual aid agreements as authorized hereunder may provide
for the furnishing of personal services, supplies, materials, contractual
services and equipment when the resources normally available to either
the City or the other municipality which is a party to such agreement
are not sufficient to cope with a situation which requires police
action.
