Current through Rules and Regulations filed through March 20, 2024

A sworn member may work a maximum of 64 hours of employment per workweek, whether the work is exclusively regular duty hours, or exclusively off-duty police employment, or a combination of regular duty hours and off-duty police employment. With supervisor approval, a maximum of 72 hours during one week of each 28-day roster may be worked. The Post Commander has authority to determine that an overage of the 64 hours was unavoidable. Any deliberate omission or misrepresentation by the sworn member of hours worked on off-duty police employment shall result in disciplinary action, up to and including termination of employment. Exceptions will be made in the event of a riot, natural disaster, emergency situation, or other exigent circumstances, as determined by the Commissioner. A sworn member working off-duty police employment shall provide a minimum of six hours for rest between off-duty employment and regular on-duty assignments.
