employment of Borough police while off duty, the Borough hereby establishes
a policy regarding the use of said officers.
(1) Members of the Police Department shall be permitted
to accept police-related employment for private employers or school
districts 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.
(2) Any person or entity wishing to employ off-duty police
shall first 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.
B. Escrow accounts.
(1) Except as provided hereinbelow, any person or entity
requesting the services of an off-duty law enforcement officer in
the Franklin Lakes Police Department shall estimate the number of
hours such law enforcement services are required, which estimate shall
be approved, in writing, by the Chief of Police, and shall establish
an escrow account with the Chief Financial Officer of the Borough
by depositing an amount sufficient to cover the rates of compensation
and administrative fees set forth hereinbelow for the total estimated
hours of service. If services are required on an immediate basis and

or his or her designee shall have the authority to waive the requirement
of an escrow account.
(2) If the amount required to be deposited with the Borough pursuant to Subsection
B(1) hereinabove exceeds $20,000, an escrow deposit of $20,000 shall be required.

(3) Prior to posting any request for services of off-duty
law enforcement officers, the Chief of Police or his designee shall
verify that the balance in the escrow account of the person or entity
requesting services is sufficient to cover the compensation and fees
for the number of hours specified in the request for services. The
Chief of Police shall not post a request for services from any person
or entity unless all fees and compensation required in the manner
described above have been deposited with the Chief Financial Officer,
except if the requirement of an escrow account has been waived as
permitted hereinabove. No officer shall provide any such services
for more hours than are specified in the request for services.
[Amended 12-20-2011 by Ord. No. 1532]
(4) In the event the funds in such an escrow account should
become depleted, services of off-duty law enforcement officers shall
cease and requests for further or future services shall not be performed
or posted until additional funds have been deposited in the escrow
account in the manner prescribed above.
(5) The person or entity requesting such services shall
be responsible for ensuring that sufficient funds remain in the escrow
account in order to avoid any interruption of services.

organizations shall be exempt from the requirements for the posting
of an escrow deposit.
