[Adopted 7-25-2002 by L.L. No. 4-2002]
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.
