[HISTORY: Adopted by the City Council of the City of Long Branch
as indicated in article histories. Amendments noted where applicable.]
Be it enacted by the City of Long Branch, in the County of Monmouth,
an ordinance establishing the participation of said municipality in a countywide
compact which shall be know as "The Monmouth County Mutual Aid Agreement."
This article is created pursuant to N.J.S.A. 40:48-1(6) and N.J.S.A.
40A:14-156.1 and is adopted as a reciprocal agreement with all municipalities
participating in the county wide mutual aid compact. Pursuant to this agreement,
the City of Long Branch shall render assistance to any participating municipality
by providing members of the Long Branch Police Department, upon request, to
help preserve the public peace and order.
The municipality requesting assistance shall compensate the officers
at an agreed upon rate by forwarding payment to the municipality, which will
then compensate those officers who rendered assistance.
In the event that a member of the Long Branch Police Department is injured
while rendering assistance to a participating municipality, the municipality
receiving the assistance shall reimburse the municipality rendering assistance
for any and all expenses incurred as a result of a worker's compensation
claim filed by the injured officer.
This article is separate and distinct from any mutual aid agreements
previously entered into between the City of Long Branch and the other municipalities
and shall remain in full force and effect until specifically repealed by an
affirmative act of the governing body of the City of Long Branch.
