This agreement made and entered into this J 6 °` day of
1982, by and between the undersigned parties.
Whereas, it is the intent of this agreement because of the
existing and continuing routine law enforcement problems
especially those that cross jurisdictional lines, and in
order to ensure that preparation of Volusia County and its
municipalities will be adequate to deal with such activity,
protect the public peace and safety, and preserve the lives
and property of the people of the county; and

- \
ment; and Airport Security Force have the authority under
Chapter 23, Part IV, Florida Statute to enter into voluntary

Whereas, any of the aforementioned law enforcement agencies
may need assistance in the area of providing dignitary pro-
tection or coping with any other major occurrence or emergency
situation dealing with routine law enforcement problems to

ing all types of Gfenses involving Narcotio/Dangerous Drugs/
,Counterfeit Drugs and all other illicit drug activities; in -
eluding fire emergencies when or where there is a need for

It is not the intent of this agreement to obligate any police
department providing backup services for routine patrol
activities to respond outside their adjoining municipalities.
Discretion lies with the Chief of Police or his designee

and is given the latitude to provide patrol personnel beyond
their adjoining -municipalities to include but not limited to,
the unincorporated areas to provide backup services for
routine patrol activities when he feels a justified emergency
situation exists. -
Now, therefore the parties agree as follows:
Section I: Each party agrees to furnish equipment,resources
and facilities and to render services to each and every other
party to the agreement in the case of routine law enforcement
assistance; provided however, that no party shall be required
to deplete unreasonably its own equipment, resources, facil-
ities, and services in furnishing such mutual aid.
Section II: The parties which furnish any aid pursuant to
this agreement shall bear the loss or damage incurred to its
jurisdictional resources and shall pay any expense incurred
in the operation. Furthermore, the responding agency or
agencies will bear the liability arising from acts undertaken
under this agreement.
Section III: The parties furnishing aid pursuant to this
agreement shall compensate -its employees during the time
of the rendering of such aid and shall defray the actual
travel and maintenance expenses'of such employees while
they are rendering such aid including any amounts paid or
due for compensation due to personal injury or death while
such employees are engaged in rendering such aid.

thereof.
Section V: This agreement shall be in effect from-1/„i/1982,
through and including, December 31, 1984. Under no circum-
stances may the agreement be renewed or extended except in
writing.

tained in this agreement, such employees shall have the same
