Course Description

Officers throughout the country accept off-duty work assignments to help “make ends meet."  Their presence is often considered vital by off-duty employers who want to secure the safety of their customers with the help of highly trained uniformed law enforcement officers.  Additionally, many argue that the presence of these officers working off-duty represents a “force multiplier” in a time of under-staffing.

However, as with any other aspect of police work, there are significant liability and safety issues associated with these off-duty work assignments.

In this webinar training, Attorney Matt Dolan will discuss:

  • Agency liability when officers act “under color of law” off duty
  • Addressing officer fatigue
  • Practical policies that allow agency leaders to manage secondary employment effectively
  • Light duty and secondary employment
