Agreement," and;

Mutual Aid Agreement" will be executed in counterparts as other public agencies choose to enter into the

resources available from those public agencies; and
WHEREAS, it is the anticipation and intent of the Municipality the "Law Enforcement Mutual
Aid Agreement' will continue to garner support and acceptance from other currently unidentified public
