Entering law enforcement personnel shall promptly notify the agency of the entered jurisdiction upon discovery of a crime in the jurisdiction where the offense occurred. 7. Any officer acting pursuant to this Agreement shall be granted authority to enforce the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia and to perform the other duties of a law enforcement officer, and shall have the same authority in the requesting locality as he has within the locality where he was appointed. Such authority shall be in conformance with Va. Code sections 15.2-1724, 15.2-1730, and 15.2-1736 as may be applicable; however, law enforcement officers of any jurisdiction who might be casually present in any other jurisdiction shall have power to apprehend and make arrests only in such instances where an apparent, immediate threat to public safety precludes the option of deferring action to the local law enforcement agency.

With regard to the execution of search or arrest warrants in one jurisdiction, where 40 such warrants have been issued for or in connection with an ongoing criminal investigation conducted by the other jurisdiction, the following shall apply: (a) Each agency shall provide the other with advance notice, reasonable under the circumstances, of any planned entry into the other jurisdiction for the purpose of executing a warrant pursuant to this provision (the "Notice of Entry"). This Notice shall be provided to the ranking officer on duty in the jurisdiction where the warrant is to be executed. (b) The presence of officers from the jurisdiction where the warrant is to be executed shall not be required; however, that jurisdiction shall have the option of sending one of its officers to execute the warrant, or to attend to its execution. 3
