(1) While performing duties under an agreement for law enforcement services under Subsection 11-13-202(1)(d), whether inside or outside the law enforcement officer's own jurisdiction, each law enforcement officer shall possess: (a) all law enforcement powers that the officer possesses within the officer's own jurisdiction, including the power to arrest; and (b) the same immunities and privileges as if the duties were performed within the officer's own jurisdiction. (2) Except as provided in Subsection (3), an agreement between a public agency in this state and an out-of-state public agency providing for reciprocal law enforcement services under Subsection 11-13-202(1)(d) shall require each individual from the out-of-state public agency assigned to law enforcement duty in this state: (a) to be certified as a peace officer in the state of the out-of-state public agency; and (b) to apply to the Peace Officer Standards and Training Council, created in Section 53-6-106, for recognition before undertaking duties in this state under the agreement. (3) The requirements under Subsection (2)(b) do not apply to an agreement between a public agency of this state and an out-of-state public agency to provide reciprocal law enforcement services under Subsection 11-13-202(1)(d) if the agreement: (a) only provides for aid or assistance to be given by an out-of-state peace officer to a peace officer of this state: (i) during an emergency; or (ii) when aid or assistance is requested by the public agency of this state; and (b) does not include a provision allowing an out-of-state officer to be regularly assigned to law enforcement duties in this state.
