EXTENT OF AUTHORITY. A law enforcement officer assigned by a participating law enforcement agency to the MHOP shall be empowered to enforce all laws and ordinances applicable in the jurisdictions of the cities and counties having executed an individual agreement with TTBH, including the power to make arrests and execute warrants outside the city or county from which he is assigned, but within the catchment area of TTBH. While functioning as a law enforcement officer assigned to the MHOP in a jurisdiction other than the jurisdiction from which he is assigned, all such officers shall have all the law enforcement powers of a regular law enforcement officer of such other city or county, while within the catchment area of TTBH. Nothing in this Agreement limits the authority of a law enforcement officer to act under state law, including: (1) a citizen's arrest or an extraterritorial arrest authorized under Chapter 14, Code of Criminal Procedure, or other law; or (2) an action taken in the presence of and under the direction of or to assist another peace officer with appropriate territorial jurisdiction.
