 shall be a town charge; providing however, no assessment on property  in

 any such village maintains a police department of four or more policemen
 on an annual full-time basis, established and maintained under the rules
 of civil service. The town board may, at its option, determine that  the
 town  shall  pay  all  or part of the cost of the uniforms and necessary
 equipment of its policemen, and may purchase such equipment for  use  by
 the  police  department  as  it  shall  deem necessary, including police
 patrol vehicles, and  emergency  service  vehicles  for  police  use  in
 connection  with  accidents,  public calamities or other emergencies. No
 assessment on property in any village within any town in the  county  of
 Suffolk  [or],  in  any  village within the town of Fallsburgh OR IN ANY
 VILLAGE WITHIN THE TOWN OF TUXEDO shall be made for the  maintenance  or
 operation  of such town police department, if any such village maintains
 a police department of two or more policemen on an annual basis. In  the
 event  that  a town has established a police department prior to January
 first, nineteen hundred sixty, the town board of  such  town  may  enter
 into  an  agreement  with  any  village within it or partially within it
