Corr, Chief of Police This policy is an edited version of an established policy of the City of Worcester, MA Police Department policy titled, “Off-Duty Assignments (March 3, 2006).” GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS AND GUIDELINES Paid traffic and protective Details are additional assignments that allow employees of the Lexington Police Department to work under the authority and supervision of the Lexington Police, while not working in their primary role. Traffic Details are hired by private companies, the Town of Lexington and/or the Commonwealth of Massachusetts to facilitate the flow of traffic around a construction site on public or private ways. Detail Officers and Traffic Unit members are responsible for addressing the safety of motorists, pedestrians and workers around these construction sites. Police Officers are also at times hired in a preventative/security fashion to head off any potential breach of the peace in a work place setting, bank or retail establishment, sporting event, locations where alcohol is served or similar events with potential disruptions. Sworn officers and members of the Traffic Unit working paid details shall adhere to all the rules and regulations as well as relevant policies and procedures of the Department in the performance of their duties. It is the policy of the Lexington Police Department to provide adequate coverage for a company, person or organization requesting a traffic or security detail. The Department will make known their rates and any other important factors to potential vendors requesting detail coverage. Such details will be filled as directed by the Chief of Police with due consideration given to collective bargaining agreements (CBA’s). Paid detail work is an added benefit and not the primary employment of any person choosing to work them.
