INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN KITTITAS COUNTY AND CHELAN COUNTY This agreement is entered into between in Kittitas County Sheriff's Office (KCSO) Chelan County Sheriff's Office (CCSO) pursuant to the Interlocal Cooperation Act., chapter 39.34 RCW. I. PURPOSE The purpose of this agreement is to provide for Mutual Aid Law Enforcement assistance pursuant to the provisions of Chapter 10.93 RCW in the Colockum Pass Area. Both parties acknowledge that those residences on the north side of Colockum Pass but south of the Chelan County line and thus still within Kittitas County require a significantly long response time due to the geographical barriers between that area and KCSO personnel. This response time is inconsistent with the needs of those residents. CCSO is capable of, and willing to, respond to calls for service in that area. II. SERVICES 911 calls from those residences will ring into the Chelan/Douglas Regional Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP), RiverCom911, and shall be dispatched to CCSO. CCSO will respond to calls for service at those residences in the same manner as those within their primary jurisdiction. CCSO will notify the on -duty supervisor of KCSO, as soon as practical, of the nature and status of the call and any other relevant information as required by RCW 10.93.030. Supervisors or other designated personnel from the two agencies shall agree to the response, level of investigation, and other resources to be provided to this area by each agency for each incident. The parties agree that the primary goal of such responses is the preservation of life, order, and property consistent with the practices and resources of the parties. CCSO shall not be expected to devote substantial time or resources to serious or protracted investigations. It is understood and agreed by the parties that evolving facts and circumstances pertaining to any given call for service or assistance may require changing the nature of the agreed response and resources allocated. CCSO will provide to KCSO, in such form and manner as is acceptable to KCSO, all information necessary to conduct further investigation, refer to prosecution, and related activities subsequent to the initial response. III. ADMINISTRATION This agreement will be administered by KCSO.
