For the convenience of those persons and entities which utilize
the services of off-duty law enforcement officers of the Borough of
Lindenwold Police Department and to authorize the outside employment
of Borough police while off duty, the Borough hereby establishes a
policy regarding the use of said officers.
A. Members of the Police Department shall be permitted to accept police-related
employment only during off-duty hours and at such time as will not
interfere with the efficient performance of regularly scheduled or
emergency duty for the Borough.
B. Any person or entity wishing to employ off-duty police shall obtain
the approval of the Chief of Police, which approval shall be granted
if, in the opinion of the Chief, such employment would not be inconsistent
with the efficient functioning and good reputation of the Police Department
and would not unreasonably endanger or threaten the safety of the
officer or officers who are to perform the work.
All requests to the Borough for services of off-duty law enforcement
offers in the Borough of Lindenwold Police Department shall be forwarded
to the Chief of Police for posting at least 10 days before such services
are required. Any law enforcement officers, when so employed by the
Borough, shall be treated as an employee of the Borough; provided,
however, that wages earned for outside employment shall not be applied
toward the pension benefits of law enforcement officers so employed,
nor shall hours worked for outside employment be considered in any
way compensable as overtime.
