Planning Commission

5-114.

The Commission may appoint whatever park police
officers as may be necessary to provide protection for the
Commission's activities and property. In connection with
the responsibility to provide that protection, it is the
responsibility of the park police to prevent crime,
apprehend criminals, enforce the criminal and motor vehicle
laws of the State, enforce park regulations and perform
whatever other related duties as are imposed by the
Commission. They have concurrent general police
jurisdiction with the Montgomery and Prince George's County
police within the parks and other areas and within buildings
under the jurisdiction of the Commission, and that portion
of all roads and sidewalks immediately adjacent to any
property under the jurisdiction of the Commission. They
possess all the powers and authority vested by existing law
in the Montgomery and Prince George's County police; but
they are responsible to and under the supervision of the
Commission and shall exercise supervisory jurisdiction over
the park system. THEY SHALL HAVE WHATEVER JURISDICTION OFF
PARK PROPERTY THAT MAY BE PROVIDED BY ANY RECIPROCAL
AGREEMENT ENTERED INTO PURSUANT TO ARTICLE 27 SECTION 602B
OF THIS CODE. The Montgomery and Prince George's County
police have the same general police jurisdiction and
responsibility for the apprehension of criminals and
detection of crime within the parks and other areas and
buildings under the Commission's jurisdiction, as they have
elsewhere in their respective counties.
