EAST BAY REGIONAL PARK DISTRICT - PRE-ANNEXATION AGMT

b. The City will advise the District whenever it decides to undertake any law enforcement efforts, other than routine patrol checks, on the Properties. Unless good cause exists for each agency to act independently, joint operations shall be preferred to address especially serious problems or problems where a joint approach is likely to prove more effective. 4. Special Events. The District shall advise the City of any special events planned on the Properties which are likely to create public safety problems. Normally, the District will allocate sufficient resources to manage any such events, but may at times request support from the City to manage any spillover onto adjacent streets and neighborhoods. 5. Incidental Patrol of and Response to Incidents on Ridge Properties. The District agrees to conduct helicopter patrol checks of the City's jurisdiction adjacent to District Properties on Pleasanton Ridge. These checks will be made incidental to regular District patrols. Except for situations that require immediate law enforcement intervention (e.g., violent or serious felony crimes), the District shall notify the City of any problems or violations observed during such patrols. Further, at the request of the City, District helicopters will assist in providing the City prompt access to its ridgelands or respond to emergencies when the City response will be delayed, consistent with other District operational priorities. C. Investigation of Major Criminal Cases 1. Primary Investigative Responsibilities The District shall have primary investigative responsibility for all crimes occurring on the Properties, with the following exceptions. a. The crime is related to an on-going City investigation and should be consolidated or coordinated closely with that investigation, or the case is of significant interest to the City. In such cases, the District shall cooperate fully and proceed with all necessary investigative steps until the City is able to assume primary responsibility for the case. A joint investigation may be conducted if the District and the City agree that such an approach is desirable in a given case. b. The City has responded to or on-viewed an incident and initiated a criminal investigation, pending a response by District units, and the investigation has developed to the point where transfer of responsibility is not practical or results in significant duplication of effort. Nothwithstanding these considerations, the District may still choose to assume responsibility or the City may request the District to do so.
