conditions or situations where aid may be requested or rendered
pursuant to this Agreement, as determined by concerned agency
heads. Subsequent to execution by the concerned agency heads,

evaluate the situation and his available resources, and will respond
in a manner deemed appropriate.
B. Each party to this Agreement agrees to furnish necessary man
power, equipment, facilities, and other resources and to render
services to the other party as required to assist the requesting
party in addressing the situation which caused the request;
provided, however, that no party shall be required to deplete,
unreasonably, its own manpower, equipment, facilities, and other
resources and services in rendering such assistance.
C. The agency heads of the participating law enforcement agencies,
or their designees, shall establish procedures for giving control of
the mission definition to the requesting agency, and for giving
tactical control over accomplishing any such assigned mission and
supervisory control over all personnel or equipment provided
pursuant to this Agreement to the providing agency.
5. Powers, Privileges, Immunities, and Costs:
A. All employees of the participating municipal police department,
certified law enforcement employees as defined in Chapter 943,
Florida Statutes, during such time that said employees are
actually providing aid outside of the jurisdictional limits of the
employing municipality pursuant to a request for aid made in
accordance with this Agreement, shall pursuant to the provisions
of Chapter 23, Florida Statutes, have the same powers, duties,
rights, privileges, and immunities as if they were performing their
duties in the political subdivision in which they are regularly
employed.

enforcement agency providing the services, personnel, equip-
ment, or facilities pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement
shall bear any loss or damage to same and shall pay any and

rendering such aid. Such compensation shall also include all
benefits normally due such employees.
D. All exemptions from ordinances and rules, and all pension,
insurance, relief, disability, workers compensation, salary,
death, and other benefits which apply to the activity of such
officers, agents, or employees of any such agency, when
performing their respective functions within the territorial limits
of their respective agencies, shall apply to them to the same
degree, manner, and extent while engaged in the performance
of their functions and duties extraterritorial under the provisions
of this Mutual Aid Agreement. The provision of this Agreement
shall apply with equal effect to paid and auxiliary employees.
6. Indemnification: The political subdivision having financial responsibility
for the law enforcement agency providing aid pursuant to this Agreement
agrees to hold harmless, defend, and indemnify the requesting law
enforcement agency and its political subdivision in any suit, action or claim
