Secondary Employment


Secondary Employment/Hiring an Off-Duty Police Officer

Thank you for your interest in secondary employment of Aurora Police Officers. The following requirements apply to hiring an officer in a secondary employment capacity. For questions or concerns, please contact Extra Duty Solutions.

All jobs are required to be coordinated through Extra Duty Solutions. It is a violation of police department policy to set up jobs directly with police officers, subjecting those officers to potential discipline.

Police officers must work in uniform. Generally, officers will have access to a marked patrol car to utilize for the job. If a car is unavailable at the time of the shift, the vehicle fee will be refunded. The police department has sole authority to determine the number of officers required at a given venue – including supervisors.

Secondary employment is voluntary and officers are not obligated or compelled to work. The Aurora Police Department may, at its discretion, cancel any off-duty jobs due to departmental conflicts. Service recipients may voluntarily offer higher pay rates in an attempt to fill a job or ensure holiday coverage. The rates are listed below include any associated fees, including a $1 agency fee, $5.43 vehicle fee, and an Extra Duty Solutions scheduling fee. Rates below are per hour unless otherwise mentioned.
