In the event of an emergency, any police officer of the Boroughs of
Milford or Frenchtown or Township of Holland or of the New Jersey State Police,
acting in the performance of his or her duties, may request of the Chief of
Police, or any police officer on duty, of this Township police assistance
in the Boroughs of Milford or Frenchtown or Township of Holland.
Police of this Township may, upon such request in the event of emergency,
respond to the request and render police assistance in the Boroughs of Milford
or Frenchtown or Township of Holland. Police of this Township shall not be
obligated to respond to such request for assistance and shall not respond
if, in their judgment and discretion, responding would jeopardize public safety
in this Township. Any police officer of this Township responding to such request
and rendering police assistance in the Boroughs of Milford or Frenchtown or
Township of Holland shall:
A.
While engaged in such assistance, have such rights and
immunities as he or she may otherwise enjoy in the performance of his or her
normal duties in this Township and;
B.
If he or she suffers a casualty or death while engaged
in such assistance, be entitled to all salary, pension rights, worker's
compensation and other benefits to which such officer would be entitled if
such casualty or death occurred in the performance of his or her normal duties
in this Township.
Upon passage and effective date of a reciprocal ordinance by the Boroughs
of Milford and Frenchtown and Township of Holland there shall exist an agreement
between these municipalities for the provision of mutual police aid in case
of emergency upon the terms contained in this and such reciprocal ordinances.
Such agreement may be terminated at any time by the repeal of this or such
other reciprocal ordinance or may be altered by other reciprocal ordinance
provisions adopted by these municipalities.
