ESTABLISHING A POLICE DEPARTMENT WITHIN
THE BOROUGH OF GLEN ROCK; TO PROVIDE
FOR CONTRACTED OFF-DUTY EMPLOYMENT
BE IT ORDAINED by the Borough Council, the Borough of Glen Rock, County of Bergen, State of New Jersey, as follows:
Section I - Chapter 40 of the Revised General Ordinances of the Borough of Glen Rock 1971 as amended being an Ordinance entitled "Police Department" is hereby amended as to the following:
1. Section 40 entitled “Police Department”, of the Code of the Borough of Glen Rock is hereby supplemental by the addition of the following:
Ҥ40-16 Contracted off-duty Employment.
A. Purpose and conditions. For the convenience of those persons and entities which utilize the services of off-duty law enforcement officers of the Glen Rock Police Department and to authorize the outside employment of Borough police while off duty, the Borough hereby establishes a policy regarding the use of said officers.
(1) Members of the Police Department shall be permitted to accept police-related employment for private employers or school districts only during off-duty hours and at such time as will not interfere with the efficient performance of regularly scheduled or emergency duty for the Borough.
(2) Any person or entity wishing to employ off-duty police shall first obtain the approval of the Chief of Police or his/her designee, which approval shall be granted if, in the opinion of the Chief or his/her designee, such employment would not be inconsistent with the efficient functioning and good reputation of the Police Department, and would not unreasonably endanger or threaten the safety of the officer(s) who are to perform the work.
(3) Any person or entity requesting the services of off-duty police officers shall execute an agreement to indemnify and hold harmless the Borough of Glen Rock for any and all claims and damages which may arise from the off duty police officer's employment by said person or entity.
(4) The Chief of Police, or his/her designee, shall have the authority to order any police officer engaged in off-duty assignments within the Borough of Glen Rock to respond to an emergency situation within the Borough. The Chief of Police, or his/her designee, shall also have the right to order any off-duty assignment to be terminated whenever said assignment creates an unacceptable risk to the health, safety and welfare of the off-duty officer and/or the citizens of the Borough. In the event that a police officer is assigned to an emergency situation, the Police Chief, or his/her designee, shall make notice of that emergency situation, as well as the time said officer was removed from said off-duty assignment. In any situation where an off-duty police officer is called to an emergency situation, said person or entity shall not be responsible for the payment of the officer's hourly rate, administrative fee or any other fees to the Borough until such time as said police officer and/or equipment returns to the assignment with the off-duty person or entity.
(5) Each private person or entity who shall employ extra-duty officers pursuant to this chapter shall be responsible for maintaining his, her or its own insurance coverage. Said insurance coverage shall include, but not be limited to, general liability and automobile. Proof of said insurance coverage shall be provided to the Borough of Glen Rock prior to the assignment of any officer(s) to said private person or entity.
B. Escrow Accounts.
(1) Except as provided herein below, any person or entity requesting the services of an off-duty law enforcement officer in the Police Department shall estimate the number of hours such law enforcement services are required, which estimate shall be approved in writing by the Chief of Police (or his/her designee), and shall establish an escrow account with the Chief Financial Officer by depositing an amount sufficient to cover the rates of compensation and administrative fees set forth
herein below for the total estimated hours of service. If services are required on an immediate basis and it is not feasible to establish an escrow account, the Chief of Police, or his/her designee, shall have the authority to waive the requirement of an escrow account.
(2) Prior to posting any request for services of off-duty law enforcement officers, the Chief of Police, or his/her designee, shall verify that the balance in the escrow account of the person or entity requesting services is sufficient to cover the compensation and fees for the number of hours specified in the request for services. The Chief of Police, or his/her designee, shall not post a request for services from any person or entity unless all fees and compensation required in the manner described above have been deposited with the Chief Financial Officer; except if the requirement of an escrow account has been waived as permitted above. No officer shall provide any such services for more hours than are specified in the request for services.
(3) In the event the funds in such an escrow should become depleted, services of off-duty law enforcement officers shall cease and requests for further or future services shall not be performed or posted until additional funds have been deposited in the escrow account in the manner prescribed above.
(4) The person or entity requesting such services shall be responsible for ensuring that sufficient funds remain in the escrow account in order to avoid any interruption of services.
(5) Houses of worship, local public schools, and qualified IRC 501©)(3) not-for-profit organizations shall be exempt from the requirements for the posting of an escrow deposit.
C. Rate of Compensation; Administrative Fee.
(1) The rate of compensation for contracting the service of off-duty law enforcement officers shall be in an amount equal to the hourly overtime rate of pay established within the Police Collective Bargaining Agreement for each law enforcement officer assigned to the project. The minimum hourly rate shall be $50.00 per hour.
(2) An additional fee of $12.00 per hour is hereby established to cover administrative costs, overhead, and out-of-pocket expenses of the Borough.
Section II. VALIDITY-SEVERABILITY If the provisions of any section, subsection, paragraph, subdivision, or clause of this Ordinance shall be held invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, such judgment shall not affect or invalidate the remainder of this Ordinance but such judgment shall be confined in its operation to the section, paragraph, subdivision or clause directly involved in the controversy in which said judgment shall have been rendered.
Section III. All Ordinances or parts of Ordinances inconsistent with the provisions hereof are hereby repealed.
Section IV. This Ordinance shall take effect upon passage as required by law.
