For the convenience of those persons and entities
which utilize the services of off-duty law enforcement officers of
the Egg Harbor City Police Department and to authorize the outside
employment of City Police while off duty, the City of Egg Harbor City
hereby establishes a policy regarding the use of said officers.
A. 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 City.
B. Any person or entity wishing to employ off-duty police
shall first obtain the approval of the Chief of Police/Public Safety
Director, which approval shall be granted if, in the opinion of the
Chief of Police/Public Safety Director, 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 City of Egg Harbor City
for the services of off-duty law enforcement officers in the City
of Egg Harbor City for a period of one week or longer shall be forwarded
to the Chief of Police/Public Safety Director for posting at least
10 days before such services are required. Any law enforcement officers,
when so employed by the City of Egg Harbor City, shall be treated
as an employee of the City of Egg Harbor City; 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.
