ID H0173

Amends Idaho Code Section 67-2337 to establish conditions under which certified peace officers may exercise authority outside their territorial jurisdiction.

Peace officers may act extraterritorially when: (1) requested by another law enforcement agency; (2) they have probable cause a felony or immediate threat to life is occurring; (3) in fresh pursuit under Idaho Code Chapter 7, Title 19; or (4) conducting investigations on open cases with nexus to their original jurisdiction.

Prohibits routine performance of law enforcement duties outside jurisdiction but recognizes the need to apprehend criminals connected to an officer's territorial authority.

Requires peace officers to report extraterritorial authority exercises to the jurisdiction where authority is exercised and relinquish control to that jurisdiction.

Allows cities and political subdivisions to enter mutual assistance compacts with adjacent jurisdictions or other states, with employing agencies responsible for employee liability and interstate compacts requiring written liability assumption statements.
