THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF MICHIGAN ENACT:

 

                              CHAPTER IV

 

     Sec. 2a. (1) A peace officer of a county, city, village,

 

township, or university of this state may exercise the authority

 

and powers of a peace officer outside the geographical boundaries

 

of the officer's county, city, village, township, or university

 

under any of the following circumstances:

 

     (a) If the officer is enforcing the laws of this state in

 

conjunction with the Michigan state police.

 

     (b) If the officer is enforcing the laws of this state in

 


conjunction with a peace officer of any other county, city,

 

village, township, or university in which the officer may be.

 

     (c) If the officer has witnessed an individual violate any of

 

the following within the geographical boundaries of the officer's

 

county, city, village, township, or university and immediately

 

pursues the individual outside of the geographical boundaries of

 

the officer's county, city, village, township, or university:

 

     (i) A state law or administrative rule.

 

     (ii) A local ordinance.

 

     (iii) A state law, administrative rule, or local ordinance, the

 

violation of which is a civil infraction, municipal civil

 

infraction, or state civil infraction.

 

     (2) The officer pursuing an individual under subsection (1)(c)

 

may stop and detain the person outside the geographical boundaries

 

of the officer's county, city, village, township, or university for

 

the purpose of enforcing that law, administrative rule, or

 

ordinance or enforcing any other law, administrative rule, or

 

ordinance before, during, or immediately after the detaining of the

 

individual. If the violation or pursuit involves a vessel moving on

 

the waters of this state, the officer pursuing the individual may

 

direct the operator of the vessel to bring the vessel to a stop or

 

maneuver it in a manner that permits the officer to come beside the

 

vessel.

 

     (3) In addition to the authority prescribed in subsections (1)

 

and (2), a peace officer of a county, city, village, or township of

 

this state may exercise the authority and powers of a peace officer

 

anywhere within an adjacent county, city, village, or township if

 


the legislative body of the county, city, township, or village

 

having jurisdiction over the law enforcement agency and the

 

legislative body of the adjacent county, city, village, or township

 

enter into a written agreement for that purpose. As used in this

 

subsection, "adjacent county, city, village, or township" means a

 

county, city, village, or township that has a border in common with

 

the county, city, township, or village that has jurisdiction over

 

the law enforcement agency employing the peace officer.
