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 covenants,
the parties hereto agree as follows ;
1. In the event of any disturbance or other local emer-
gency 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,

subject to call, will be covered by correspondence between the
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
ordinarily be operated by personnel of the party furnishing the
equipment . 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 here-

ment being considered adequate consideration for the services rendered.

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.
