the "Police Services Escrow Account" for the compensation to members
of the police force and special police officers during off-duty hours
whose attendance is required at private affairs.
The off-duty officer or officers whose services
are retained, pursuant to this article, and whose compensation has
been provided for by prepayment into the Police Services Escrow Account
shall make application to the Township Treasurer by way of a voucher
setting forth the date, time, place and duration of services rendered.
Said voucher shall also bear the signature of the person having made
application for such services, approving such disbursement. Compensation
for said services shall be made by the Township Treasurer out of the
Police Services Escrow Account hereinbefore established at the hourly
rate provided for by Township Committee resolution.
