Peace officers: mutual aid.

Existing law authorizes any regularly employed law enforcement officer of the Oregon State Police, the Nevada Department of Motor Vehicles and Public Safety, or the Arizona Department of Public Safety to be a peace officer in this state if all of certain conditions are met, including, but not limited to, the out-of-state officer is providing law enforcement services in response to a request for services initiated by a member of the California Highway Patrol, or providing law enforcement services for the purpose of assisting a member of the California Highway Patrol, as provided, and a reciprocal operational agreement is in effect between the Department of the California Highway Patrol and the law enforcement officer's out-of-state agency. This bill would authorize the City of Tulelake, California, to enter into a mutual aid agreement with the City of Malin, Oregon, to permit their police departments to provide mutual aid to each other when necessary. The bill would require that the agreement be reviewed and approved by the Commissioner of the California Highway Patrol.
