'Extra duty' policy made public amid concerns about Halifax Regional Police officers working at private businesses | SaltWire | READ MORE
The Halifax police commission has released details of its “extra duty” policy amid concerns around officers working security at private businesses.
HRP officers must wear full uniform and carry equipment including firearms as they would normally do for regular policing, Chief Dan Kinsella told the commission. Kinsella said HRP has a special events unit dedicated to evaluating requests for special services, assigning officers for the work and monitoring for things such as possible conflicts of interest.In response to a question from HRM Coun. Lindell Smith on how much money is generated through the program, Kinsella didn’t provide a specific figure but said a full accounting could be provided to the commission.
“When we’re talking extra duty employment in the RCMP it’s essentially extra duty employment would simply mean you’re performing your regular role except perhaps you’re doing it on an overtime capacity,” RCMP Insp. Jeremie Landry told the commission.
