It will be agreed between both Chiefs of Police of the City of Sunny Isles Beach

related jurisdiction:
1. Both agencies will be permitted to patrol jurisdictional waters of either
jurisdiction, and to take enforcement actions as deemed appropriate

boating law violation citations, make arrests, and to attend court on be-
half of the other agency.
2. Both agencies agree that any and all incidents, which require an initial
(preliminary) police offense incident report (OIR), will be completed by
the agency making the initial contact. Any follow-up investigations that
are required are to be completed by the jurisdiction the incident occurred
regardless of which agency completed the original offense incident report.
3. If an arrest is made by one agency that is operating in the jurisdictional
waters of the other agency, and that arrest results in asset forfeiture
proceedings, both agencies agree to a 50-50 share of the final asset

cution of the civil case. The jurisdiction of civil forfeiture action shall be
