We will assign off-duty police officers for special events
and cirumstances in response to requests from citizens or businesses to
the extent permitted by existing resources and in accordance with department
procedures. The primary intent of extra-duty assignments is to provide
a supplementary service to the community by assigning available off-duty
uniformed officers to security, crowd control, or traffic related details
which do not fall within the scope of the on-duty patrol officer's responsibilities,
yet which are reasonably expected to require the services of a sworn police
officer. The business or citizen requesting this service is required to
pay for the officers' services at a rate established by the police department;
there will be a fee for any job that requires a cruiser.
Requests for services which exceed the department's capabilities or are
not consistent with the professional law enforcement policies of the department
will not be honored. All extra-duty police services provided by Clearwater
Police must be within the Clearwater city limits.
Clearwater police officers do not arrange their own "off duty jobs".
All job requests are screened and assigned by the Clearwater Police Department.
If you are a business or individual within the City of Clearwater who
