Moonlighting Police Officers
Moonlighting of police officers is controversial with
departments across the nation. In this week’s resource folder
there are several news articles from various metropolitan areas
that voice concern over the implementation and regulation of
moonlighting. Of concern are the obvious factors of conflict of
interest and safety.
Conflict of interest is a natural concern among police
departments due to the influence and consideration private
employers are given by hired public officials. In order to
combat common areas which may receive extra consideration
are establishments associated with after-hours entertainment
and/or drinking establishments. As can be seen in the local
news articles some police departments ban their officers from
working for these types of businesses. In the resource folder is
also the departmental regulation for Arlington, Virginia police
officers desiring outside employment. Arlington prohibits
police officers from working for a private security firm.
However, this does not preclude the officer from working
directly for a small business. Other restrictions that Arlington
places on their officers includes outside work as taxi cab
drivers, bar security and as debt collectors, for obvious
reasons. Also contained in the resource folder for week four is
an FBI bulletin containing recommended guidelines for
implementing an outside employment program.
Many departments control the off duty work environment

3. through the creation of a full formal function and associated
processes within their department. Prior to authorization for off
duty employment an officer must complete the proper
application process and in some places acknowledge through
training or personal verification they understand the legal
bounds and constraints they will work under. Arlington also
requires the wear of the uniform and department badge with the
understanding the officer is on duty at all times. This aids in
the reduction of any confusion during and post incident. Other
means of control is through the capping of allowable hours
worked within a given day and how many days worked in a
row. Through careful and deliberate planning and
implementation a department can reduce their level of liability
and exposure in regards to off duty officers and employment.
