The Town Board recognizes that there may be times when emergency events
cause a particular agency to require additional law enforcement personnel,
equipment or supplies, and that intermunicipal cooperation is an efficient
and cost-effective method of meeting those needs in the interest of public
health and safety.
The New Paltz Chief of Police, or in his/her absence the duly appointed
officer in charge, is hereby delegated the power to request and grant police
assistance pursuant to an intermunicipal agreement for mutual aid, under § 209-m
of the General Municipal Law.
The Supervisor of the Town of New Paltz is hereby authorized to execute
an intermunicipal agreement(s) with other local governments on behalf of the
Town of New Paltz for mutual aid police protection and cooperative training
pursuant to Article 5-G of the General Municipal Law, in such form as may
be approved by the Town Attorney, and such agreement(s) shall be filed with
the Town Clerk.
