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 § 2-105 of the Criminal Procedure Article. The reciprocal agreement shall
specify the circumstances under which a park police officer may make arrests off of
park property. The agreement may allow such arrests in emergency or nonemergency
situations, notwithstanding § 2-105 of the Criminal Procedure Article. 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.
(b) (1) In Prince George's County, the Prince George's County Planning
Board may appoint a deputy chief of the Prince George's County division of the park
police. The deputy chief has the same jurisdiction, powers, and authority as park
police officers appointed by the Commission.
(2) The deputy chief shall serve at the pleasure of the Prince George's
County Planning Board.
(3) The Prince George's County Planning Board from time to time shall
fix the compensation of the deputy chief.
