The list for “double time” details will be recycled once per year on January 1. b. When hours are set at zero, available work will be filled by seniority. c. After the first of the month, available work will be offered to the officer or person with the least amount of hours worked. When individuals have the same number of hours, the person with the most seniority will be offered the work first. d. These procedures may be subject to change on any given day due to unexpected circumstances. The objective is to achieve equity over a month period. e. Road Jobs are governed differently. Unlike filling detail work, a running tally of hours worked for Road Jobs is not tabulated by the Department. Therefore, the Detail Sergeant will assign Evening Road Jobs as equitable, using the order established contractually, as possible with the intent of distributing the work evenly among available personnel. 3.

Only area departments authorized by the Chief of Police, which allow their officers to work in other communities shall be called to fill work in Lexington. b. Only active full time sworn officers from outside police departments may work paid details in the Town of Lexington. c. Prior to allowing outside police departments to work in Lexington, it should be explained and understood that specific pay rates may apply as well as billing procedures. 4. The Commanding Officer or desk officer will account for all the hours worked by officers on a specific day and add those hours to the running total for the month. a. Hours added to officers and or other detail personnel are typically added in blocks of 4 hours or 8 hours, however efforts should be made to account for all detail hours worked including those worked in excess of eight hours. b.

Officers and other personnel working the details are expected to notify the Department of unexpected changes to details. For example, if a four hour detail becomes and eight hour detail, then the police station should be notified of the change.
