§ 69-2-6. Jurisdiction and employee immunity.

     In implementing a 911 emergency telephone service, the public agency and public safety agencies and their employees shall cooperate in establishing the service and in its day-to-day provision. Any employee of any public safety agency which is a participant in a 911 emergency telephone service may respond and take any action to any call whether within or without the authorized territorial jurisdiction of the public safety agency. In response to emergency calls, employees of public safety agencies shall have the same immunity for any acts performed in the line of duty outside their authorized jurisdictions as they enjoy within their authorized jurisdictions. No cause of action is created by any incorrect dispatch or response by any system or any public safety agency or by reason of elapsed response time.
