[Ord. No. 984]
Members of the Police Department supplying emergency assistance
to an other municipality shall have the same powers and authority
as have the members of the police department of the municipality in
which the assistance is rendered. Additionally, the members shall
also have, while so acting, the rights and immunities as they may
otherwise enjoy in the performance of their normal duties within the
Borough of Milltown.
[Ord. No. 984]
The Borough shall, upon providing assistance to another municipality
which has enacted a similar intermunicipal assistance ordinance, assume
the cost and expense of providing personnel and equipment to the requesting
municipality, excepting such instances when the requesting municipality
receives State or Federal aid as reimbursement or if private concerns
are involved and the requesting municipality receives reimbursement.
In this event, the costs incurred by the Borough shall be submitted
to the municipality which requested assistance, for reimbursement.
[Ord. No. 984]
At such times that an emergency may occur and intermunicipal
police aid is requested, the chief of police of the municipality wherein
the emergency situation exists, shall be the senior ranking officer
of all members of any police department rendering assistance within
the boundaries of the municipality.
[Ord. No. 984]
In the event any member of a police force summoned pursuant
to an agreement to render assistance, suffers injury or death in the
performance of his duties, he or his designee or legal representatives
shall be entitled to such salary, pension rights, workman's compensation
or other benefits as would have accrued, if such injury or death had
occurred in the performance of his or her normal duties.
[Ord. No. 984]
A copy of this ordinance shall be transmitted to the municipal
clerk of each municipality in Middlesex County, no later than five
business days following its adoption. The Clerk of the Borough of
Milltown shall maintain a record of all such similar ordinances adopted
by other municipalities.
