What do WE want?

Sworn LE officers working off duty details....

I agree with Nat's post about sworn LE officers not working off duty security but I would have a few conditions added(places that serve alcohol, EP/PSD details for a elected official, foreign govt official, authorized function like the Super Bowl, Olympics, etc).
FWIW; many sheriff's offices & PDs limit the amount of hours to 30 per work week. That's fair. Cops in my metro area earn from $37.00 to $43.00/hr starting too.
Some sworn LE officers are slack-offs or abuse the "perk" too.
I recall a media clip of a Dep Chief in Atlanta PD saying some cops go to work just to take a break! :mad:

I'd also say that many times, off duty LE officers use excessive force or unethical conduct while on these jobs.

Am I missing something... I must be.

What is the issue with Police working as security in their off-hours? What problems does it cause? I have been puzzling over this all day, and I can not think of a down-side?

In any event, it has nothing to do with federal gun legislation or the 2nd amendment.
 
armed security....

Armed security could be employed in many of those functions.
In many states & cities, armed security must have licenses & documented training. They(guards) may not have a conflict or be viewed as acting as a agent on the property owner's behalf in a dispute.

There have been many scandals & news stories of off duty cops beating, kicking & injuring citizens in bars/clubs. It's a real shame.
