Full text
73. The council of a municipality may make an agreement, in accordance with the Act governing it, with another municipality, concerning places of detention or the services of a police force. The agreement must provide, as the case may be, that the territory of a municipality that is a party to the agreement is subject to the jurisdiction of a police force.
The agreement is made for a period of not more than ten years and must be approved by the Minister of Public Security; failing written notice of nine months given by one of the parties, the agreement is renewed for the period provided for initially or for any other period agreed upon by the parties.
In order to be approved, the agreement must contain provisions for the maintenance, at its termination, in the territory of the municipalities that are parties to the agreement and to which the obligation imposed in section 64 applies, of appropriate police services and for the appointment or reclassifying of the members of the police force in the municipalities. The making of an agreement under this section does not require a municipality, at the termination of the agreement, to complying with the obligation imposed by section 64 if it is not already bound to do so.

Such agreement shall be made for a period of six years and shall be renewed automatically by successive periods of three years failing written notice of six months given by either party to the other.
