§ 3. Police Limits.

All municipal police officers shall, within the municipality and beyond those corporate limits for one-half (½) mile, as well as any municipally-owned property located outside of the aforementioned area, have the powers and authority to keep and enforce the laws of the State of Maryland and the Town of Emmitsburg. It is the responsibility of all municipal police officers to enforce all ordinances and laws of the town and state equally within the limits for one half (½) mile, or for so much of this distance as does not conflict with the powers of another municipal corporation.

All ordinances heretofore passed or that may hereinafter be passed by the Mayor and Commissioners of the Town of Emmitsburg to preserve the peace, order and quiet, health and welfare of the town, or relating to planning and zoning, shall apply to said police limits and to all persons therein. The judges for the District Court of Frederick County shall have the power to apprehend and try any and all persons violating any of the provisions of said ordinances within the police limits of the town, and to enforce the fine, penalties, and punishment therein prescribed.
