MUTUAL AID AGREEMENTS BETWEEN POLICE DEPARTMENTS AND FEDERAL AUTHORITIES (§
15.2-1728)

In any case where exclusive jurisdiction over any property or territory has been
granted by the Commonwealth to the United States government, or to a department
or agency thereof, the governing body of any contiguous locality or the Division
of Capitol Police may enter into a mutual aid agreement with the appropriate
federal authorities to authorize police cooperation and assistance within such
property or territory. Subject to the conditions of any such agreement, all
police officers and agents of the contracting governing body or agency shall
have the same powers, rights, benefits, privileges and immunities while acting
in the performance of their duties on the property or territory under federal
authority as are lawfully conferred upon them within their own jurisdictions.
