New Jersey § 40a:14-156

§ 40a:14-156.

In the event of an emergency the chief or other head of any municipal police department

and force or any park police department or system, municipal fire department and force,

volunteer fire company, or first aid or ambulance squad, corps or company, or the

mayor or chief executive officer of the municipality may request, from the chief or

other head of the police department and force of any other municipality, assistance

outside the territorial jurisdiction of the department to which such request is directed

for police aid, in order to protect life and property or to assist in suppressing

a riot or disorder and while so acting, the members of the police department and force

supplying such aid shall have the same powers and authority as have the members of

the police department and force of the municipality in which such aid is being rendered. Said members shall also have, while so acting, such rights and immunities as they

may otherwise enjoy in the performance of their normal duties in the municipality,

or other territorial jurisdiction, rendering such assistance. The chief or head of the police department and force to whom such a request for assistance

is made shall, in the case of a contiguous municipality, provide such personnel and

equipment as requested to the extent possible without endangering person or property

within the municipality rendering such assistance. Any municipality receiving assistance hereunder shall pay to the police department

and force providing the assistance a sum computed at the rate of $3.00 for each member

and $5.00 for each vehicle for each hour supplied unless terms and conditions for

payment are otherwise provided for in an agreement between the several municipalities. If any member of such other police department and force in rendering such assistance

shall suffer a casualty or death, he or his designee or legal representative shall

be entitled to all salary, pension rights, workmen's compensation and other benefits

to which such member or officer would be entitled if such casualty or death occurred

in the performance of his normal duties in the municipality, or other territorial

jurisdiction rendering such assistance.
