An excerpt:

The Court, therefore, finds that assisting, when requested, a local law enforcement agency in the enforcement or carrying out of the laws the agency enforces would be encompassed within the law enforcement services included in the Compact and the AFAs. The Court further finds that Eversole’s actions of responding to a Stroud officer’s request for assistance would be encompassed by the Compact and the AFAs.
