Relating to clarification of a law enforcement agency and cooperation between law enforcement agencies and personnel of states bordering this state

Chamber Passed·2/4/26

Clarifies cooperation between West Virginia law enforcement agencies and neighboring states.

This bill amends West Virginia law to clarify cooperation between law enforcement agencies and personnel of states bordering West Virginia. It defines terms such as "law enforcement agency" and "head of a law enforcement agency," and outlines the conditions under which law enforcement personnel can be temporarily assigned to another agency or a multijurisdictional task force. The bill ensures that personnel retain their original agency's employee rights and benefits while on assignment.
