This number is monitored 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
CSPD’s Extra Duty Program was developed to provide additional law enforcement services to private businesses and/or public agencies, while eliminating potential conflicts of interest for officers and the department. The extra services provided are paid for by the business via a contract, and, generally, represent special law enforcement needs that cannot be met through routine police service.
Maintaining a strong and effective Extra Duty Program benefits the community, the department, and its officers by providing auxiliary police services while under the control of the department, as well as providing a full range of police resources that are quickly available when needed or requested.
All jobs are required to be coordinated through Extra Duty Solutions (EDS). The police department has sole authority to determine the number of officers required at a given venue, including supervisors.
The primary duty of all sworn CSPD personnel participating in special events or extra duty assignments will be to protect life and property, keep the peace, and enforce city ordinances, state, and federal laws.
The primary duty of all civilian CSPD personnel participating in special events will be to assist sworn CSPD officers in the safe and efficient management of an event.
Extra Duty and Special Event Compensation:
Any and all police staffing required at a special event and for extra duty assignments will be paid by that event organization, and/or its representative, and/or private business. All officer and civilian employee payments, invoicing, and collections will be managed by Extra Duty Solutions.
NOTE: Any event requiring five or more officers will require a supervisor position be staffed by a sergeant or lieutenant. Large-scale events with multiple supervisors and officers may require opening an incident command center under an incident commander.
