19-828. Multijurisdictional law enforcement
group.
Any county in the state of Kansas which borders another state, with the
agreement of the sheriff, may enter into agreement with the political
subdivisions in such other state's contiguous county to form a
multijurisdictional law enforcement group for the enforcement of drug and
controlled substances laws or for the prevention, detection or investigation of
any terroristic activity. Such other state's law enforcement officers may be
deputized as officers of the counties of this state participating in such an
agreement and shall be deemed to have met all requirements of law enforcement
training and certification required under K.S.A. 74-5601 et seq. and
amendments thereto if such officers have satisfied the applicable law
enforcement officer training and certification standards in force in such other
state. Such other state's law enforcement officers shall have the same powers
and immunities as law enforcement officers certified and commissioned in Kansas
while conducting investigations to enforce drug and controlled substances laws
or engaged in the prevention, detection or investigation of terroristic
activity with the multijurisdictional enforcement group.
