| We start the calendar year with everyone at zero hours, ranked by seniority. If the senior officer gets a 8 hour detail, he gets 8 hours added to his total and then goes to the bottom of the list behind the most junior officer with zero hours, and so on. If two officers are tied in hours and both want a certain detail, seniority rules. Refusals are 4 hours. City overtime and details are different, distinct lists. |

| [/list]We get booted off of the list, punishment has vaired depending on who you are tho. I think the most was three weeks, that was just for being late to a two man detail. Granted he was 3 hours late but still.... |
| We by far have the worst way of filling details.... We use a days off rotating seniority list. Which means people on their days off are on a rotating seniortiy based list and are asked first. The list is detrmined by the last to work a detail. The next senior person (sgt or officer) is asked and the list goes down from there. Once the days off people are asked, then the people who are working that day are asked. That list is a straight seiority list no rotating. Simple right? Well we run a 4-2 schedule, but have 3 officers who work 5-2. So these officers are assigned to a rotation for the purpose of filling details and can take a "4-2" day to work a detail if one gets to them on their assigned rotation days. Plus they are added to the days off list for weekends which are their days off. Needless to say you need a friggin degree from MIT to fill a detail at our place. |
| We don't have them either...but that's the nature of our job. We also have to have our part-time jobs approved by our Director, if he doesn't like the job or you, he doesn't have to approve it. |
| Kinda the same for us. If we want to work off-duty, our commanding officer has to approve it, although he can't deny the job just because he doesn't like us. Plus, it can't be more than 20 hours a week and alcohol can't be present. |
| Is that for detail-like work (security for lack of a better word), or even if you want to pump gas or do plumbing in your off hours? |
| Any job outside the department has to be ok'ed by our CO. That means pumping gas, security work, ticket counter at the theater, plumbing, etc... |
| do you wear your police uniform when working security like a detail around here? |
| No. The only time we're allowed to wear a uniform in an off-duty type job is: Dodger games, USC football games and movie jobs. Movie jobs are when they're shooting a tv show, movie, commercial, etc, on the streets and need security to protect the stars and the expensive equipment. We aren't allowed to wear a uniform for anything else. If we do any other security jobs, it's considered non-department related. Personally, I don't have an off-duty job. I work enough overtime dealing with crime stuff that I don't have the time or the need. I'm currently a sergeant in charge of our gang unit, which affords me a lot of overtime, too much in fact! |
| Are those details done through the Dept, or does the officer have to seek them out himself? Also, does the LAPD assign officers to work things that would be details around here (like movie theater, mall security, etc) as their on-duty assignment? |
| LA Copper, not related to the thread, but I'm curious since you are on the gang unit... which is the worst gang in L.A. in your opinion and is the animosity between the latin gangs and black gangs getting better or worse ? Are the different black and latin gangs unifying together racially to battle the other race's gangs ? |
