RESOLUTION NO. 2013-82
RESOLUTION BY THE GOVERNMENT SERVICES COMMITTEE AUTHORIZING THE
SHERIFF’S OFFICE TO PARTICIPATE IN THE SUBURBAN MUTUAL ASSISTANCE
RESPONSE TEAM (SMART)
To the Honorable Members of the Racine County Board of Supervisors:
WHEREAS, established in 1993, the Suburban Mutual Assistance Response
Team (SMART) is an organization comprised of over forty (40) local law enforcement
agencies that have agreed to assist other agencies during emergency situations that
threaten or cause loss of life and property that exceed the physical and organizational
capabilities of an individual unit; and
WHEREAS, examples of this type of emergency would be the recent shooting
incidents at the Sikh Temple in Oak Creek and the Azana Spa in Brookfield; and
WHEREAS, Racine County and other participating agencies in this agreement are
so located that it is to the advantage of each to extend aid to the other with respect to the
delivery of law enforcement services; and
WHEREAS, it is recognized that the use of police officers to perform duties
outside the territorial limits of the municipality by whom they are employed may be
desirable and may be required under certain circumstances to protect and preserve the
common health, safety and welfare; and
WHEREAS, Racine County and other participating agencies deem mutual aid law
enforcement services to be the best interest of their respective communities; and
WHEREAS, law enforcement mutual assistance is authorized pursuant to Wis.
Stat. § 66.0313.
NOW, THEREFOR BE IT RESOLVED by the Racine County Board of Supervisors
that the Racine County Sheriff’s Office is authorized to participate in SMART agreement
as outlined in Exhibit “A” that is attached hereto and available by request from the Racine
County Clerk’s Office.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED by the Racine County Board of Supervisors that
any two of the County Clerk, the County Executive and/or the County Board Chairman
are authorized to execute any contracts, agreements or other documents necessary to
carry out the intent of this resolution.
