  • 1102.13 Multi-Jurisdictional Authority and Arrests
    TEXARKANA POLICE DEPARTMENT GENERAL ORDERS MANUAL SUBJECT Multi-Jurisdictional Authority & Arrests EFFECTIVE NUMBER 1102.13 February 15, 2011 DATE Scheduled March 01, 2022 ISSUE DATE February 15, 2011 Review Date Date REVISION March 17, 2020 Reviewed DATE APPROVED (Reserved for Expansion) BY I. Purpose and Scope A. The Texarkana Police Department’s responsibility and mission is concentrated within the borders of the city limits of Texarkana, Arkansas; however, because the City of Texarkana, Arkansas borders the City of Texarkana, Texas byway of State Line Avenue, the ultimate mission of the Department becomes difficult and sometimes disadvantaged. B. In addition, the pursuit of providing professional police services to the community in which we serve is often hindered when confronted with multi-jurisdictional rules, procedures, statutes and laws that remain applicable to each city’s respective state entity. This policy is intended to address these issues and provide rules, procedures and guidelines that enable officers serving in either the Texarkana Arkansas Police Department or the Texarkana Texas Police Department to traverse into the neighboring state and enforce that state’s law. II. Policy A. It shall be the policy of the Texarkana, Arkansas Police Department to establish, manage and coordinate a set of guidelines that allows the commissioned officers within the Agency to traverse into the State of Texas and therein operate outside of their primary jurisdiction. The authority that allows commissioned officers in the State of Arkansas to operate in this manner originates from the following: 1. A Texarkana, Arkansas Peace Officer qualified under Vernon’s Annotated Texas Code of Criminal Procedure Article 2.124(b) may exercise the same powers and duties as a Texarkana, Texas Peace Officer within the Territorial Limits of Texarkana, Texas without further qualification, certification, oath, or bond.
