NC S600

Authorizes municipalities with populations exceeding 500,000 to enter temporary intergovernmental agreements with out-of-state law enforcement agencies and officers to provide law enforcement and security services.

Out-of-state law enforcement officers working under such agreements receive the same jurisdiction, powers, rights, privileges, and immunities as the requesting municipality's officers while subject to the chief of police's operational commands.

Out-of-state officers must be full-time paid governmental employees with arrest powers in their home jurisdiction, be in good standing with no pending civil, criminal, or departmental actions that would disqualify them in North Carolina.

Intergovernmental agreements must address standards of conduct, use of force policies, required training completion, officer compensation, and claims processing protocols.

The law becomes effective January 1, 2012, applies only to agreements entered after that date, and expires October 1, 2012.
