1.               PURPOSE

 

To establish guidelines that will allow employees to engage in outside employment as defined by the City of Atlanta Code of Ordinances, Section 114-436. For the purposes of this document outside employment is known as “Extra Jobs”.

 

2.               POLICY

 

The Atlanta Police Department will permit employees to work approved extra jobs that do not present a conflict of interest; do not violate any rules, regulations or procedures; and do not impair the employee's job performance. Working extra jobs is a privilege that can be revoked at any time by the Chief of Police.  Employees who do not abide by these policies and procedures may have the privilege of working extra jobs revoked by the Chief of Police, in addition to any other sanction imposed by the disciplinary process.

 

3.               RESPONSIBILITIES

 

3.1              Bureau, division, section and unit commanders are responsible for the full implementation of this procedure within their respective commands.

 

3.2              Supervisors will monitor subordinates to ensure conformity to this procedure.

 

3.3              Watch commanders are responsible for monitoring employees and responding to incidents involving employees working extra jobs in their zone or work area.

 

3.4              Employees are responsible for completing extra job permits, tracking extra job hours worked, the electronic reporting of their hours worked and the submission of Form 728 to their supervisors, and maintaining personal copies of extra job related documents.

 

3.5              The Personnel Services Unit commander will forward to the Staff Inspections Unit a list of all employees currently on extended sick leave or family medical leave, on a monthly basis.

 

3.6              The Staff Inspections Unit (SIU) will monitor adherence to the extra job policies and processes.

 

4.               ACTION

 

4.1              General Conditions

 

4.1.1           No employee will work an extra job without an approved or temporary extra job permit. Employees must have the approved or temporary permit (or a copy thereof) readily available while working the respective extra job and produce it to any supervisor or SIU employee upon request.

 

4.1.2           Employees will comply with all Atlanta Police Department rules, regulations, orders, and policies and procedures while working extra jobs.

 

4.1.3           Employees working extra jobs will not rely on any authority vested in a Department employee by the City of Atlanta or the State of Georgia to enforce civil contracts or the rules and regulations of a private enterprise.

 

4.1.4           Employees are prohibited from working all extra jobs while on duty or during their scheduled work hours when utilizing sick leave.

 

1.    Employees may work Type II, III, or V extra jobs while on sick leave, extended sick leave or Family Medical Leave if the employee is attending to a family member's medical condition, not his or her own.

 

2.    Employees are prohibited from working any extra jobs while on suspension or administrative leave with pay.   This includes interim actions such as relief from duty or Force Usage Review Assignment (FURA) status.

 

3.    Employees on suspension or administrative leave without pay will be allowed to work Type I extra jobs provided they submit an extra job request to the OPS Commander for approval by the Chief of Police (or his or her designee).

 

4.1.5           Employees are prohibited from working Type II, III, or V extra jobs outside the City of Atlanta regardless of whether the employee has been deputized or otherwise has the authority to enforce the laws within that jurisdiction.

 

4.1.6           Employees who have been issued a Departmental radio, when working a Type II, III, or V extra job, will (over the radio) advise the radio dispatcher of the zone in which he or she is working, their off-duty radio number, the address and/or actual location of the extra job and the starting and ending times of the extra job. The employee will also monitor that zone’s frequency while she or he is working the extra job. If a Departmental radio is not available or is inoperable, the employee will make telephone contact with a supervisor in Communications and provide the same information. Communications will make that information available to the on-duty field supervisor.

 

4.1.7           Employees working Type II, III, or V extra jobs will wear the Class B or Class C uniform. Lieutenants and below authorized to wear the Class C uniform in the performance of their regular duties may wear it while working extra jobs. Any uniform or clothing other than the Class B or Class C uniform must be requested and approved by a section commander in advance of the extra job permit (Form APD 727).

 

4.1.8           Employees working extra jobs that involve directing traffic must wear a traffic vest for increased visibility, to enhance the flow of all traffic in the area, and to add to the overall safety of all pedestrians and motorists. The directing of traffic will be consistent with enhancing pedestrian and vehicular traffic flow (public safety).

 

4.1.9           Departmental employees on initial probation may not work extra jobs, with the following exceptions: Type I extra jobs; Type IV extra jobs; and Type II, III, or V extra jobs after the successful completion of field training and when an active duty APD supervisor is immediately available, working at the same extra job at the same time as the probationary employee, and explicitly accepts responsibility for supervision.  It is the responsibility of both the supervisor and the probationary employee to insure that these conditions are met.

 

4.1.10         No supervisor can work an extra job under the supervision of an active duty officer of a subordinate rank.

 

4.1.11         Extra jobs that require more than 10 officers to work simultaneously must be coordinated and be staffed as follows: at least one active duty sergeant for every eleven officers; and at least one active duty lieutenant for every nine sergeants.

 

4.2              Payment and Compensation

 

4.2.1           The suggested rate of compensation for police officers is time and one half of the hourly rate of police officer pay at step five. Employees are free to negotiate a rate of compensation based on the nature of the extra job.

 

4.2.2           All payments for services rendered must be made directly to the employee from the employer. Employees (coordinators or points of contact) may assist the employer in distributing individual payments, but are prohibited from collecting a single payment for services rendered and then disbursing individual payments.

 

4.2.3           Employees will file all applicable income tax forms, attachments, and returns, as required by any and all municipal, state, or federal authorities.

 

4.3              Limitations on Hours of Employment

 

4.3.1           An employee cannot work more than a combined total of 130 hours on duty scheduled employment for the Department and extra job employment in any two-week pay period. The two-week pay periods are to correspond with Department pay periods. The employee’s section commander must approve any exceptions to these limitations in advance.

 

4.3.2           Employees are prohibited from working any combination of scheduled on-duty and extra job employment for more than 16 hours in any 24-hour period.

 

4.3.3           To work a Type I extra job, in excess of four hours during a pay period, an employee must submit an extra job permit to his or her immediate supervisor.

 

4.4              Restrictions on Types of Employment

 

4.4.1           The Chief of Police may at any time prohibit extra jobs at specific locations, for specific types of businesses, or for other reasons deemed to be in the best interest of the Department.

 

4.4.2           Employees will not work an extra job for persons or businesses engaged in unlawful activity or any other activity that might reflect unfavorably on the Department.

 

4.4.3           Employees will not work an extra job that will interfere with, affect the performance of, or involve a conflict of interest with the employee’s duties with the Department.

 

4.4.4           Employees working extra jobs at businesses selling alcoholic beverages for consumption on the premises may not enforce any rules or regulations of the business, or act as bouncers or security guards to enforce the rules or regulations of the business. Officers are not to check the identification of patrons entering the business to determine the age of the patrons for the purpose of restricting access to the business based on the age of any patron, regardless of any rules or regulations of the business. Officers may check the identification of persons who are suspected of being underage when they are in possession of alcoholic beverages or they have a fraudulent or altered identification.

 

4.4.5           Employees will not work an extra job for any adult entertainment establishment or in the parking lot or other area immediately surrounding or associated with such businesses.

 

4.4.6           Employees will not work an extra job for a business that may interfere or give the impression of interfering with an employee’s primary duty with the Department, including but not limited to: sightseeing guides, operators of public vehicles, pawn shop employees, private investigators or detectives, civil process server, unarmed guard, or for a bonding company.

 

4.4.7           Employees will not work an extra job that would require access to confidential police records, files, correspondence, or other information not otherwise available to the general public.

 

4.4.8           Employees will not work an extra job for a collection or repossession agency or other employment where police authority or access to confidential information could be potentially used to collect monies, locate individuals, seize property for private purposes, or satisfy civil claims.

 

4.4.9           Employees will not work an extra job that is likely to create, or will create, a conflict of interest with other employees of the Department or with City of Atlanta government as a result of official recommendations or actions taken by the employee. For example, an employee may not be employed as a private consultant if it is likely that he or she may later have to testify against employees of the Department over a job-related action taken by another employee.

 

4.4.10         No employee or any corporation or other legal or business entity owned, controlled or directed, wholly or in part, by an employee and/or by a member(s) of the employee’s immediate family will employ or pay other Department employees to work an extra job.

 

4.4.11         Executive Protection: Employees who wish to provide services for individuals or a group of persons (e.g., private escort or security for celebrities) must request authorization through the chain of command to the Staff Inspections Unit and have the approval of the Chief of Police prior to entering into any agreement or contract to provide such services. Each request will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. At a minimum such employment requires following the same rules, policies and procedures as all other extra job requests.

 

4.5              Application, Approval, and Revocation

 

4.5.1           An employee desiring to work an extra job must file an extra job request (Form APD 727) with his or her immediate supervisor.

 

1.    The approving supervisor will return the goldenrod copy of the extra job request to the employee to serve as a temporary work permit. 

 

2.    If a three-ply permit is used, the supervisor will photocopy the permit, mark the copy “TEMP” and send the original three-ply permit request through the chain of command for approval.

 

3.    The temporary extra job permit will only remain valid within the fourteen days following its approval.

 

4.5.2           In the event that the employee’s immediate supervisor is not available to authorize the temporary work permit, the employee may obtain temporary authorization from any active duty sworn supervisor of a higher rank. The temporary work permit must then be submitted to the
employee’s immediate supervisor for review and approval.

 

4.5.3           The employee’s immediate supervisor must review, make a recommendation, and sign each extra job request. If the extra job request needs additional information, the immediate supervisor will request and review the additional information prior to approving the request.

 

1.    Approval for extra jobs will be based upon the following criteria: employee’s job performance; employee’s productivity; complaints against the employee; abuse of sick leave; and any other factors that may adversely affect the employee or the Department.

 

2.    At the time of approval or denial by the supervisor, a copy of the extra job permit will be maintained in the unit file to which the employee is assigned. The original request will be forwarded up the chain of command to the Staff Inspections Unit. In the event an extra job permit is denied, the supervisor will document the reasons in writing and notify the employee immediately. The employee may request a review of that denial through the chain of command.

 

4.5.4           Each supervisor in the chain of command will review the extra job request for completeness and compliance with this procedure, and recommend to approve or to disapprove the request. The unit commander’s signature will indicate the employee’s compliance with section 4.5.3(1). Whether approved or disapproved, the request and any attachments will be forwarded via the chain of command to the division commander.

 

4.5.5           The division commander will make a final decision on the request. The division commander will then send the original of Form APD 727 to the Staff Inspections Unit. 

 

4.5.6           Each supervisor in the chain of command and the division commander will insure that the final, reviewed and signed employee’s copy of the extra job permit will be returned to the employee as rapidly as possible, not to exceed fourteen days from the date the officer submitted the request.

 

4.5.7           All extra job permits for active duty employees expire on the employee’s date of birth unless otherwise specified on the permit. Members of the Atlanta Retired Police Reserve must refer to APD.SOP.2190 “Reserve Program” for the expiration date of all extra job permits.

 

4.5.8           Majors, deputy chiefs and division directors must submit their extra job requests through the chain of command to the Chief of Police for approval. No permanent or temporary permits are authorized for these ranks without the prior approval of the Chief of Police.  The Chief of Staff will maintain copies of these extra job permits for a period of three years.

 

4.5.8           Authorization to work an extra job may be immediately suspended by any supervisor for any of the following reasons: failure to produce a valid extra job permit on the demand of any Atlanta Police supervisor; any change in the conditions of the original application; failure to abide by the rules, regulations, policies and procedures of the Department; unsatisfactory performance in the course of on-duty employment; emergency mobilization of personnel; or any other circumstances which would warrant suspension or revocation of off-duty employment in accordance with this directive.

 

4.5.9           Any supervisor may order an employee to cease working an extra job if the employee violates any rule, regulation or procedure that could embarrass or discredit the Department or if the employee is physically and/or mentally incapable of performing the job. The supervisor doing so will immediately report the incident in writing to the Staff Inspections Unit. The Staff Inspections Unit will be responsible for notifying the Office of Professional Standards and the employee’s division commander.

 

4.5.10         All Type V extra jobs must be approved by the SIU commander prior to an employee entering into any agreements or contracts to provide services.

 

1.    The coordinator of the proposed Type V extra job must be a supervisor.

 

2.    The coordinator of the proposed Type V extra job must submit an extra job request (Form APD 727) and a copy of the safety plan (as required by the Special Operations Section in the special event permit) to the Staff Inspections Unit.

 

3.    Upon approval, the coordinator will receive a Type V extra job request number to provide other employees who intend to work that Type V extra job.

 

4.    No later than 10 days following the event, the coordinator will also submit an After Action Report to the SIU commander.

 

4.6              Documentation

 

4.6.1           All employees working Type II, Type III, and Type V extra jobs will maintain an extra job activity sheet for all extra jobs worked (Form APD 728 “Employee Extra Job Report”) through the Automated Green Sheet Data entry process (refer to APD.TM.RCT.09.07).

 

4.6.2           Employees will electronically complete and submit Form APD 728 “Employee Extra Job Report” through the Horizon homepage on the Department’s intranet on the last day of each pay period or the first day the employee returns to work after the last day of the pay period.  Detailed instructions on how to complete and submit this form through Horizon can be found in Roll Call Training APD.TM.RCT.09.07, “Automated Green Sheet Data Entry.”

 

4.6.3           Once the Extra Job Report is completed employees will check it for errors, print the form, sign the printed copy of the form and turn it into their supervisor.  The supervisor will sign the form and return a signed copy to the employee for their personal records.

 

4.6.4           Section commanders will collect and maintain copies of Form APD 728 for all employees in their command for a period of one year.

 

4.6.5           Through a command memorandum, a section commander may direct sworn and/or civilian employees working an extra job to maintain an extra job activity sheet for all extra jobs of all types that are worked.  Form APD 728 Employee Extra Job Report will be completed and submitted to their supervisors on the last day of each pay period or the first day the employee returns to work after the last day of the pay period.  The section commander will file these Form APD 728’s in the section’s personnel files, and will not send them to SIU.

 

4.6.6           All coordinators must maintain records for the extra job they are coordinating, including at a minimum: employees who work that extra job; the dates each employee worked; and the hours each employee worked. These records must be maintained for three years and made available upon request by the SIU commander, the OPS commander or the division commander.

 

4.6.7           Employees that fail to properly report extra job hours that they have worked will have their extra job privileges revoked for a period of thirty days.

 

4.6.8           The Extra Job component of the Staff Inspections Unit will conduct inspections of APD personnel actively working extra jobs.  During the inspection, SIU will use Extra Job Spot Inspection Verification Form APD 761 to:

 

1.    Document the inspection,

 

2.    Have the employee and SIU inspecting officer to sign the form;

 

3.    SIU will keep the white copy, forward the yellow copy to the section commander, and give the pink copy to the inspected employee to serve as a reminder to complete the Extra Job Activity Sheet Form APD-728.

 

4.6.9           If the Automated Green Sheet Data entry process is unavailable for any reason, employees will complete the automated process as soon as it is available.

 

4.6.10         Documentation of Warrantless Seizure, Search or Frisk

 

1.    When conducting a warrantless seizure, search or frisk of a person inside any residence or commercial building or structure, officers on self-initiated calls must complete the ICIS Demographics tab under the Field Contact. In instances whereby an officer calls 9-1-1 and he or she is, in turn, the primary unit responding to said call, the ICIS Demographics tab under the Field Contact must also be completed. 

 

2.    The ICIS Demographics Tab under Field Contact must clearly specify:

 

a.    the specific facts giving rise to reasonable articulable suspicion regarding a crime;

 

b.    whether the individual was frisked for weapons, and if so the specific facts giving rise to reasonable articulable suspicion that the individual was both armed and dangerous;

 

c.    whether the individual was searched for anything other than weapons, and if so, the specific facts giving rise both to probable cause and exigent circumstances.

 

4.6.11         Documentation of Identification Checks

 

1.    All ACIC/GCIC/NCIC identification checks conducted inside of a residence and/or commercial building or structure, conducted by sworn Atlanta Police personnel, shall complete the Demographic tab under the Field Contact tab in ICIS. This requirement does not apply to officers responding to dispatched calls for service.  This requirement applies to officers on self-initiated calls.  In instances whereby an officer calls 9-1-1 and he or she is, in turn, the primary unit responding to said call, the ICIS Demographics tab under the Field Contact must also be completed.

 

2.    The ICIS Demographics Tab under the Field Contact tab must clearly specify:  

 

a.    the specific facts giving rise to reasonable articulable suspicion regarding a crime;

 

b.    whether the individual was frisked for weapons, and if so the specific facts giving rise to reasonable articulable suspicion that the individual was both armed and dangerous;

 

c.    whether the individual was searched for anything other than weapons, and if so, the specific facts giving rise both to probable cause and exigent circumstances.

 

3.    Pursuant to a ACIC/GCIC/NCIC identification check conducted inside of a residence and/or commercial building or structure by sworn Atlanta Police personnel, the Field Contact information  shall be imputed in ICIS prior to the end of the officer’s shift. Off-duty officers working a Department-approved extra-job must also adhere to this requirement.

 

 

4.7              Procedure for File Maintenance

 

4.7.1           Copies of all extra job permits will remain in the employee’s unit file for one year.

 

4.8              Handling Incidents

 

4.8.1           Off-duty officers employed by a private employer will respond to reported and witnessed incidents and will be responsible for the completion and submission of required reports, by the end of their tour of duty, in the zone where the incident occurred. The officer will conduct a thorough investigation and preserve and collect evidence relating to the incident. The officer may request the assistance of on-duty or specialized units depending upon the complexity and seriousness of the incident. If the investigation would require the off-duty officer to leave the scene of the outside employment, or when a vehicle accident occurs, the off-duty officer will request that an on-duty or specialized unit be dispatched to the scene to handle the incident.

 

4.8.2           When an officer makes an arrest while working an extra job, he or she must complete an incident report.

 

1.    The officer will take the incident report and other documentation to a supervisor in the zone of the extra job to be approved and signed.

 

2.    Once the reports and other documentation are signed, copies will be made and submitted to the officer’s regular assignment to be placed in the B.A.R.T. basket.

 

3.    Zone supervisors will notify the FOD Administrative Office when an officer constantly fails to complete reports from an extra job. Once notified, the FOD commander will review the officer’s extra job request.

 

4.8.3           The on-duty officer responding to a request from an officer who is off-duty will then be responsible for conducting a thorough investigation and will assume responsibility for completing and submitting necessary reports related to the incident.

 

4.9              Motorcycle Escorts

 

4.9.1           City-owned motorcycles or personally owned motorcycles may not be used for extra jobs unless specifically requested and included in an approved extra job request.

 

4.9.2           The use of City-owned vehicles, including motorcycles, for extra jobs involving funeral escorts is strictly prohibited.

 

4.9.3           The use of City-owned motorcycles and personally owned motorcycles for an off duty escort may be requested in circumstances where the escort would reasonably serve a legitimate public safety purpose.  Examples of escorts that serve a legitimate public safety interest include:

 

1.    oversized or dangerous loads being moved upon the roadways within the City of Atlanta;

 

2.    pacing or slowing down traffic in furtherance of authorized construction or work on or in streets and/or highways;

 

3.    the coordinated, movement of a significant number of vehicles in unison that would present a hazard if unescorted;

 

4.    an individual of such prominent status and/or against whom verifiable threats have been made such that their safety would be jeopardized absent an escort;

 

5.    sports teams playing in the City where the absence of an escort may place team members in jeopardy due to their notoriety.

 

4.9.4           Employees wishing to conduct extra job motorcycle escorts may request authorization by submitting a completed extra job request that clearly indicates the purpose and public safety purpose it would serve.

 

4.9.5           Requests to conduct extra job motorcycle escorts must include the route and length of the escort, the beginning and ending points, the number and types of vehicles to participate in the escort and whether the City or the employee owns the motorcycle.

 

4.9.6           Employees requesting to conduct a motorcycle escort will attach to the completed extra job request proof of successful completion of either the Experienced Rider Motorcycle Safety Course offered by the Georgia Department of Driver Services or a Police Motorcycle Operators Course.

 

4.9.7           Employees conducting approved funeral escorts will comply with Georgia Code 40-6-76 governing funeral escorts and all applicable laws and ordinances.

 

4.9.8           Only employees assigned to the Special Operations Motorcycle Unit are authorized to wear the Department-approved riding britches with Department-approved riding boots while conducting motorcycle escorts.

 

4.9.9           Privately owned escort motorcycles are not authorized emergency vehicles and will not be operated as such.

 

4.9.10         Escort routes will be determined prior to movement and determined so as to minimize the disruption of normal traffic patterns and to promote the safety of the motoring public.  Escort routes will be based upon the following criteria:

 

1.    the time of day and area the escort will travel through;

 

2.    special traffic patterns of scheduled events in the City of Atlanta such as sporting events, concerts, conventions, etc.; and

 

3.    the number and type of vehicles participating in the escort.

 

4.9.11         Escort Procedures

 

1.    Escorts will be carried out so as to promote public safety and with consideration for the welfare of the general public.

 

2.    Escorts should generally travel at or below the posted speed limit.

 

3.    Escort officers will advance ahead and clear traffic as necessary.  They should refrain from allowing the escorted vehicle(s) to drive on the wrong side of the road or the wrong way on one-way streets.

 

4.    Escort officers will advise the affected zone dispatcher(s) via radio of all escort movements, including the location of origin, destination and specific routes to be used.  They will also notify radio upon departure and upon arrival at the destination.
