Should enforcement action be taken, the enforcing Party shall notify the Party having normal jurisdiction and upon the latter's arrival, turn the situation over to them and offer any assistance requested, including, but not limited to, a follow- up written report documenting the event and the actions taken. This Subparagraph is not intended to grant general authority to conduct investigations, serve warrants and/or subpoenas, or to respond without request to emergencies already being addressed by the Party having normal jurisdiction, but is intended to address critical, life -threatening or public safety situations, prevent imminent bodily injury to citizens, or secure apprehension of criminals whom the law enforcement officer may encounter. (d) No officer or other appointee shall be empowered under this agreement to operate in the other Party's jurisdiction without prior approval of the agency head having normal jurisdiction. The agency head's decision in these matters shall be final. III. Command and Supervisory Responsibility.

Likewise, when assisting the Agency, the Division's personnel and equipment shall be under the immediate command of a Division's supervising officer and shall be under the ultimate supervision and command of the Agency's Chief of Police or his/her designee. IV. Powers, Privileges, and Immunities. (a) Pursuant to section 23.127(1), Florida Statutes, any Party's employee who, pursuant to this Agreement, renders aid outside of that employee's normal jurisdiction but inside this State shall have the same powers, duties, rights, privileges, and immunities as if the employee was performing duties inside the employee's normal jurisdiction. (b) The Parties agree to bear their own costs associated with providing aid pursuant to this Agreement. These costs consist of, but are not limited to, employee compensation, including any amounts paid or due for compensation for personal injury or death while the employee is rendering aid pursuant to this Agreement, travel, and any expense or cost incurred in the operation and maintenance of or loss or damage of any equipment, resources, or facilities. (c) Pursuant to section 23.127(3), Florida Statutes, the privileges and immunities from liability, exemption from laws, ordinances, and rules, and pension, insurance, relief, disability, workers' compensation, salary, death, and other benefits that apply to the ordinary activity of an employee of a Party when performing the employee's duties within the territorial limits of the employee's agency apply to the employee to the same degree, manner, and extent while engaged in the performance of the employee's duties extraterritorially under the provisions of this Agreement. This Subparagraph applies to paid, volunteer, and auxiliary employees. (d) Nothing herein shall prevent the requesting Party from requesting supplemental appropriations from its governing authority having budgeting jurisdiction to reimburse the assisting Party for any actual costs or expenses incurred by the assisting agency performing hereunder. (e) Nothing in this Agreement is intended or is to be construed as any transfer or contracting away of the powers or functions of one Party to the other. V. Policies, Procedures, and Conflicts.

The Parties agree that in the event of a conflict between the Agency's and the Division's rules, regulations, personnel policies, general orders, or standard operating procedures, the Parties will advise Page 3 of 7 each other of the conflict and advise of what actions the Parties' personnel are allowed to perform under their respective policies, general orders, or standard operating procedures. Nothing in this Agreement, however, shall be construed to compromise the powers granted to the Agency under sections 14.022, 30.15, Florida Statutes, the Florida Constitution, or the United States Constitution.

(c) Subject to Paragraph V above, if a complaint is received accusing employees of both Parties of wrongdoing, the Parties agree to cooperate and resolve the complaint. VII. Liability. Each Party agrees to assume responsibility for its own acts, omissions, and conduct of its employees' providing assistance or mutual aid as described in this Agreement. This Paragraph shall not constitute a waiver of the Division's sovereign immunity. VIII. Insurance. Each Party shall provide satisfactory proof of liability insurance by one or more of the means specified in section 768.28 (16)(a), Florida Statutes, in an amount that is, in the judgment of the governing body of that party, at least adequate to cover the risk to which that Page 4 of 7 Party may be exposed. However, should the insurance coverage provided by any Party be canceled or undergo a material change, that Party shall notify the other Party in writing of such change within 10 days of receipt of notice of actual knowledge of such change.
