WHEREAS, the parties hereto are geographically located in
proximity to each other in the County of Los Angeles ; and
WHEREAS, it is to the mutual advantage and benefit of the
parties hereto to render supplemental police protection to each
other in the event of a disturbance or other local emergency of
a magnitude that has developed or appears to be developing beyond
the ability of the City ' s forces to maintain control and,
therefore, requires supplemental assistance of the other party
to control;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of their mutual covenrnts ,
the parties hereto agree as follows :
1. In the event of any disturbance or other local emergency
which cannot be met with the facilities of one of the parties ,
the other party agrees , upon request, to furnish aid in controlling
such disturbance or local emergency upon either an actual, or
standby basis . The extent of aid to be furnished under this
agreement shall be determined solely by the party or department
thereof furnishing such aid, and it is understood that the aid
so furnished may be recalled at any time at the sole discretion
of the furnishing party.
2. Details as to methods of requesting mutual aid and the
names of persons authorized to send and receive such requests ,
together with lists of equipment and personnel which will be
subject to call, will be covered by correspondence between tie
s ,�
parties and the Chiefs of Police thereof.
3. Personnel who are furnished will work as far as possible
under their own supervisors , and equipment furnished will ordin-
arily be operated by personnel of the party furnishing the equip-
ment. General directions relative to the work will be given by
the appropriate officers or persons of the party receiving such
aid.
4 . Neither party to this agreement shall be required to pay
any compensation to the other party for services rendered hereunder ;
the mutual advantages and protections afforded by this agreement
being considered adequate consideration for the services rendered.
5. This agreement covers day-to-day mutual aid only and
shall be of no force and effect in cases in which a state of
extreme emergency has been proclaimed and when the California
Disaster and Civil Defense Master Mutual Aid Agreement becomes
operative.
6. This Agreement does not relieve either of the parties
hereto from the necessity and obligation of providing adequate
police protection for persons and property within its own
boundaries.
7. It is also mutually understood and agreed that aid
and assistance pursuant to the terms of this Agreement will be
called for only when, in the opinion of the police chief of the
party requesting aid, it is deemed necessary to request outside
assistance because all of the normal facilities at his command
have been exhausted and outside assistance is needed to control
and suppress a disturbance or other local emergency.
8. This Agreement shall not be construed as or deemed to
be an agreement for the benefit of any third party or parties ,
and no third party or parties shall have any right of action

penditures made in connection with furnishing mutual aid under
