Florida Mutual Aid Act

The act establishes a framework for cooperation among law enforcement and public safety agencies, allowing them to assist one another across jurisdictional lines. It authorizes agencies to enter into mutual aid agreements defining the terms of that assistance, and provides for a statewide mutual aid plan administered by a designated authority. It also addresses the legal status of personnel operating outside their home jurisdiction, extending their powers and preserving the privileges and immunities they hold at home.
