§330.7. Police officers

A. Each authority shall not directly employ police security personnel. However, the authority may enter into cooperative endeavor agreements with appropriate local law enforcement agencies or local governmental subdivisions to provide necessary police security services for levees, or the authority may assume the rights and responsibilities of any existing cooperative endeavor agreements for police security services.

B. Notwithstanding the provisions of Subsection A of this Section, the Southeast Louisiana Flood Protection Authority - East may employ a superintendent of police security to supervise the police security personnel of all levee districts within its territorial jurisdiction. The superintendent shall have authority and the right to exercise the power of a police officer, including the power of arrest throughout the territorial jurisdiction of the authority. The salary of the SLFPA-East superintendent of police security shall not exceed the salary of the superintendent of the Louisiana State Police. The authority may assess each levee district within its territorial jurisdiction an amount necessary for the salary, benefits, and expenses of the superintendent.

C. Notwithstanding the provisions of Subsection A of this Section and R.S. 38:326, the Southeast Louisiana Flood Protection Authority - East, in the interest of public safety, may deploy police security personnel employed by one levee district within its territorial jurisdiction in another levee district within its territorial jurisdiction, provided that the levee district supplying the personnel is fully compensated for such deployment and the deployment does not create a public safety concern in any of the other districts. In the event full compensation for such deployments is not received, the delinquent district shall not be eligible for future deployments until making all necessary payments. Each police officer shall retain his powers when he is deployed outside his district of employment.
