bounds of the Job Corps site at the Union StreetCampus.
The Penobscot Job Corps Center requests that, in the event that
the Center has a need for the exercise of police powers within
the campus, relating to Penobscot Job Corps Center property or
personnel and the extent that the Bangor Police Department and
other resources available to the Center need support for the
control of the situation, the Bangor Police Department, located
at 35 Court Street, Bangor, Maine, will render backup support to
assist in the control and resolution of the situation to the
extent its personnel and other resources reasonably permit.
The costs attributed to such backup support rendered by the
Bangor Police Department for the benefit of the Penobscot Job
Corps Center, specifically requested by the Center, will be
reimbursed by the Penobscot Job Corps Center and any individual
who renders such services will be entitled to protection of the
Federal Employees Compensation Act, adjusted to reflect the
