Outside details shall be compensated at the rate of time and one half of the current
hourly rate of a Second Year Officer. This provision will take effect prospectively from the
time of final execution of this collective bargaining agreement.
A $3.00 per hour premium will be added to the hourly rate for outside details where
alcoholic beverages are served.
Compensation shall be paid for a minimum of four (4) hours.
The premium rate shall not be subject to pyramiding for the purpose of calculating
overtime.
Assignment Responsibilities: Employees accepting and assigned to outside details shall
fulfill such assignments, or notify the Desk Sergeant or appropriate on-duty Supervisor of
their inability to fulfill the detail at least two (2) hours prior to the start of the detail. There
shall be no penalty for failure to fulfill such detail provided that the employee has
designated an acceptable substitute willing to fulfill the detail. If an outside detail must be
canceled due to a Department obligation and then the obligation is canceled, the
employee's name shall be put back on the top of the list to be considered for any open
jobs.
Cancellations:
1. Consistent with SOP 52, cancellations by officers for scheduled outside details shall
be for a bona-fide reason, i.e., verifiable illness, accident, or other reason beyond the
officer's control. When an officer cancels an outside detail, the officer may be asked
for the reason for the cancellation. An officer cancelling a detail must call EDS at
603-594-3533 to report the cancellation. If you get the voicemail, leave a message
asking for a callback. Do not assume the detail has been properly cancelled and
reassigned until you speak to EDS personnel directly.
2. Once an officer is assigned to an outside detail job, he/she shall not cancel that job in
order to obtain another outside detail job on the same day. Officers who cancel their
detail with three hours or less notice will be assessed the points they would have
earned had they worked the job. Exceptions are documented emergencies such as
department call-outs, mandatory department assignments, and other verifiable
unexpected assignments. Department overtime is only an exception if ordered by a
supervisor to work.
3. Upon notification of a cancellation, EDS personne! shall make every effort to fill the
vacant position using the priority number sequence. If a cancellation is within three
(3) hours of the start of the detail, EDS will attempt to fill the detail using the first
come first serve method.
4. Gancellations of LESS THAN THREE (3) HOURS shall be forwarded to the Services
Bureau Commander by EDS personnel.
5. EDS personnel shall record these cancellations on a cancellation list. Each month,
the Services Bureau Commander shall receive a copy of the cancellation list.
6. When there are three or more cancellations within a 60-day period, the Services
Bureau Commander or designee will send an interdepartmental memo to the officer,
the officer's Bureau Commander, and the appropriate Deputy Chief outlining the
cancellations. The officer may be subject to the disciplinary system.
