Danny From: Sully, James P. fmailtoOPSully0lasd.org] Sent: Monday, November 07, 2011 4:20 PM To: Calleros, Daniel Subject: RE: Mutual Aid Agreement Chief, Sorry that this has taken so long. I have been in an overload mode and failed to check far enough back in my emails to pick this up. In researching your "upgrade" to the Mutual Aid Plan form, seeking the Sheriffs signature, I posed the question to our State Coordinator. This is a State form, not a County one. Your agency, with your signature, is agreeing to help the other Chiefs In the State, in the event of a major disaster, either natural or manmade. Obviously, we adhere to the LEMA protocols of 50% deployments locally, then County, then Regionally, before moving agency personnel statewide. The Sheriff, being the Law Enforcement Mutual Aid Coordinator for Region One (Los Angeles/Orange Counties) does not sign off on your (Chiefs) agreements, but rather is the Coordinator or "keeper of the records". He does however sign, as you do for Vernon, making LASD a part of the program willing to provide law enforcement mutual aid as needed.. I will gladly get a new copy to you for yoursignature (or City official, per your protocols). I Issued new forms to all of the Area "C" Chiefs last week. I will be trying to schedule a meeting with the Area D and E Chiefs, in the near future. I hope this helps and again I apologize for the delay.

Subject: Mutual Aid Agreement James, checking in on the status of the mutual aid agreement. We attended the EOB event last month, but unfortunately we were notable to meet up.
