Guidelines for the Exercise of Concurrent <br />Policing Jurisdiction on East Bay Regional Park <br />Properties in Pleasanton, CA <br />Date: February 8, 1990 <br />A. Purpose and Scope <br />1. The purpose of this agreement is to establish guidelines <br />and procedures for the exercise of concurrent policing jurisdiction <br />at Shadow Cliffs Recreation Area and a portion of Pleasanton Ridge <br />Regional Park (hereafter the Properties) in Pleasanton, CA. Both <br />Properties are operated by the East Bay Regional Park District, <br />which also maintains and operates its own Department of Public <br />Safety (hereafter District) under authority of Public Resources <br />Code Section 5558. The City of Pleasanton operates a full-service <br />municipal police department (hereafter City) with concurrent <br />jurisdiction over law enforcement matters on both Properties. The <br />objectives of this cooperative agreement are to: <br />a. Promote inter-agency cooperation on law enforcement <br />matters and provide a high level of police services to park users, <br />staff and the neighboring community. <br />b. Provide prompt, effective response to emergencies. <br />c. Ensure that jurisdiction in major crimes is assumed by <br />the most appropriate agency. <br />d. Ensure that police coverage and response is adequate <br />to address and resolve any actual or potential law enforcement <br />problems. <br />e. Assure high levels of on-going communication and <br />coordination, including the implementation of joint policing <br />efforts in appropriate circumstances. <br />2. Nothing in this agreement is intended to diminish in any <br />way the powers and authorities vested in the District or City as <br />a matter of law. <br />B. Provision of Police Services on the Properties <br />1. District's Primary Policing Responsibility Although both <br />the District and the City have concurrent policing jurisdiction on <br />the Properties, it is agreed that the District shall have primary <br />policing responsibility. However, in selected instances, the City <br />shall assume primary responsibility for the investigation of <br />certain serious, violent crimes in accordance with criteria set <br />forth in section C.1, subsections a and b. <br />
