I saw a San Diego guy doing one in a parking lot once. Even though they aren't required aren't they still an option there?

I can't speak for San Diego, but I know that we don't have them. We are not allowed to wear our uniforms off-duty unless we have specific permission. The only real off-duty job where guys can wear their LAPD uniform is movie jobs, where they provide security for movies and TV shows being filmed around the streets.

We aren't allowed to have any off-duty jobs where alcohol is served. And much to the chagrin of you folks in Mass, all road jobs either have a flag guy or just a bunch of cones, no detail, although I wish we did.

It seems that it evens out then. We have details.. you guys have movie jobs and extra security. I dont know about the money and such, but the movie job must be pretty reliable with Hollywood and everything.

Maybe you would get details if you stopped beating the shit outta bad guys in front of the cameras?

Only a select few get to do the movie jobs and they all have to ride a motor. As far as I know, there aren't any "footbeat" type of personnel who do movie jobs. You guys have a TON more details back there than there are movie jobs available out here... Lucky you!

I read recently where CHP was doing "details" at some road jobs on they highways. This was not for traffic control though: It was to provide security for the flag men! Apparantly the angry California motoring public was taking their aggressions out of the flaggers resulting in several assaults.

That was supposed to be a secret! Now that's some good off-duty work!

Hey, there's more to California than Hollywood!!! Not all Cali agencies have the movie details, LOL! I did have the benefit at my previous agency to get to work pro tennis & golf tournaments. Besides the nice addition to the paycheck, you'd get to chow at the catering tents... always good food!!!

Back in the early 90's while vacationing in Hawaii, they had road jobs & bar details.

Saw sheriffs doing details on Route 89 between Burlington and Waterbury so I guess you can add VT.
