NC S191

Municipalities with populations exceeding 500,000 may enter temporary intergovernmental agreements with out-of-state law enforcement agencies to provide law enforcement and security for national conventions.

Out-of-state law enforcement officers working under these agreements shall have the same jurisdiction, powers, rights, privileges, and immunities as local officers and must comply with the chief of police's operational commands.

Out-of-state officers must be full-time paid employees of governmental agencies with arrest powers in their home jurisdiction and good standing with no pending civil, criminal, or departmental actions.

Intergovernmental agreements must address conduct standards including use of force policies, require completion of agency-prescribed training, and specify compensation and claims processing protocols.

This provision becomes effective January 1, 2020, applies to agreements entered into on or after that date, and expires October 1, 2020.
