In accordance with authority provided in § 209-m of
the General Municipal Law, which reads, in pertinent part:
|
"2. Notwithstanding the provisions of any general, special or
local law or of any county, City or village charter, the chief executive
officer of a local government, whenever he deems that the public interest
requires it, may request the chief executive officer of any other
local government to detail, assign and make available for duty and
use in the local government for which the request is made any part
of the forces, equipment and supplies of the police department, police
force or parkway police force of the local government of which the
request is made. The chief executive officer of the local government
of which the request is made is hereby authorized and empowered to
grant the request so made.
| |
|
3. A local government may, by local law, delegate to the Chief
of Police of its police department or police force the powers hereby
granted to a chief executive officer to request and grant police assistance."
|
|
the City Council hereby delegates to the Chief of Police the
powers granted to a chief executive officer under that section.
|
In addition to and not in limitation of any powers delegated to the Chief of Police in § 36-1, the Chief of Police shall, as soon as practicable, inform the Mayor of any action taken by him pursuant to that delegation of powers.
The provisions of this article are hereby declared to be severable,
and if any clause, sentence, paragraph, word, section or part of this
article shall be adjudged by any court of competent jurisdiction to
be unconstitutional, illegal or invalid, such judgment shall not affect,
impair or invalidate the remainder thereof, but shall be confined
in its operation to the clause, sentence, paragraph, word, section
or part thereof directly involved in the controversy in which such
judgment shall have been rendered.
