This Agreement is limited to <br />the named Parties only and does not extend to the State Department of Public Safety or any other <br />political subdivisions of the State of Minnesota. <br />The previous mutual aid agreement was signed by the same governments in 1968. <br />Police personnel included in the Mutual Aid Agreement, drafted by the City of St. Paul include: <br />City of Saint Paul, the Ramsey County Sheriff's Office, the City of West Saint Paul, St. Anthony <br />Village, the City of North Saint Paul, the City of Mounds View, the City of White Bear Lake, the <br />City of Roseville, the City of Maplewood, and the City of New Brighton, and all political <br />subdivisions of the State of Minnesota located within Ramsey County <br />POLICY OBJECTIVE <br />The Roseville Police department meets all requirements as set forth by the Agreement and it has <br />been reviewed and approved by Roseville's City Attorney's Office. The Agreement contains <br />customary language of other mutual aid agreements. <br />BUDGET IMPLICATIONS <br />There are no expected budgetary implications with this agreement. <br />STAFF RECOMMENDATION <br />Page 1 of 2 <br />
