[Adopted 5-13-1987 by Ord. No. 87:15]
Pursuant to the provisions of N.J.S.A. 40A:14-156.1, the governing
body of the Borough of Somerdale hereby agrees to the provision of
reciprocal police assistance, as hereinafter prescribed, with those
municipal corporations in Camden County and in those counties contiguous
to Camden County which demonstrate their reciprocity by their enactment
of this article.
It is hereby expressly provided that, upon committing such reciprocal
police assistance, as hereinafter prescribed, no payment shall be
required to be made by the assisted municipality to the municipality
providing such assistance. This exclusion will include but is not
necessarily limited to police salaries, cost of automobiles or motorcycles,
use of police dogs and/or the cost of other equipment or expenses
incurred by providing such assistance. This provision of nonpayment
is in lieu of those rates of pay and rentals set forth in N.J.S.A.
40A:14-156.1 and as required by law.
Any of the concurring parties may withdraw from and terminate
their part in this agreement at the end of any calendar year, provided
that notice of such intention to terminate shall be given no later
than November 1 of each year to each participant herein. Otherwise,
the agreement shall remain in force on a yearly basis.
The Mutual Aid Operations Plan promulgated by the Camden County
Chiefs of Police Association prescribing the specifics of emergency
reciprocal police assistance is hereby incorporated by reference without
inclusion herein. Such Mutual Aid Operations Plan will be periodically
updated, but such updated version will not be enacted until distributed
to each and every party hereto for their edification and whatever
action they may deem appropriate.

The Police Chief shall annually, and as soon after the end of
the year as practicable, furnish the respective governing body with
a summary report of services rendered and received, with his comments
and recommendations.
