Such agreements may provide that the law enforcement officers of another municipality will respond to calls for assistance and/or maintain regular periods of police patrol in the town of Indian Beach. Such agreements may further provide that the Town of Indian Beach will reimburse the municipality providing police protection for the services of its law enforcement officers and cover any other expenses incurred in providing such services.

When law enforcement officers are sent to the Town of Indian Beach pursuant to the authority granted by this act, the jurisdiction, authority, rights, privileges and immunities, including coverage under the workmen's compensation laws, which such law enforcement officers have in the other municipality shall extend to and include the area in which like benefits and authority could be afforded to law enforcement officers of the Town of Indian Beach. When providing law enforcement services to the Town of Indian Beach, the law enforcement officers of another municipality shall have the same authority to make arrests and to execute criminal process as the law vests in law enforcement officers of the Town of Indian Beach, but these provisions shall not be construed to extend the effect of the laws and ordinances of another municipality in the Town of Indian Beach.

Sec. 4. All laws and portions of laws in conflict with this act are hereby repealed.

Sec. 5. This act shall become effective upon ratification.
