Current through Rules and Regulations filed through March 20, 2024
Off-duty police employment which is not acceptable to the Georgia Department of Public Safety includes, but is not limited to:
(a) Employment involving wrecker companies, bail bonding companies, private investigation services, paralegal services, adult entertainment establishments, employment in which the primary source of revenue is the sale of alcoholic beverages, employment at fast food establishments or retail sales establishments, and any employment that would require a sworn member to testify in court in opposition to another law enforcement agency. Approval may be granted on an individual basis when the sale and consumption of alcohol beverages is incidental to the primary function or purpose of the enterprise such as sports facilities and civic centers. During the course of the employment, the Department may make reasonable inquiries of the member to ensure that the continued outside employment does not constitute a conflict of interest.
(b) Any other off-duty police employment determined by the Commissioner, in his or her discretion, to be inconsistent, incompatible, in conflict with or that would bring discredit upon the Georgia Department of Public Safety.
