Extra-Duty Employment of Police Officers

We will assign off-duty police officers for special events and circumstances in response to requests from citizens or businesses to the extent permitted by existing resources and in accordance with department procedures. The primary intent of extra-duty assignments is to provide a supplementary service to the community by assigning available off-duty uniformed officers to security, crowd control, or traffic related details which do not fall within the scope of the on-duty patrol officer's responsibilities, yet which are reasonably expected to require the services of a sworn police officer. The business or citizen requesting this service is required to pay for the officers' services at a rate established by the Hastings City Council.  Currently, that fee is $45.00 / hr. per officer.   Requests for services which exceed the department's capabilities or are not consistent with the professional law enforcement policies of the department will not be honored. All extra-duty police services provided by Hastings Police must be within the Hastings city limits.

Hastings Police Officers do not arrange their own "off duty jobs". All job requests are screened and assigned by the Hastings Police Department.

If you are a business or individual within the City of Hastings who desires to hire off-duty police officers for an event or other circumstance, please follow these instructions:

  1. At least 10 days prior to the event or the anticipated need for the officers, complete the print and sign the Uniformed Officer Request  .  You may submit it by email, fax or mail it to:
    Hastings Police Department
    Attention: Captain Gene Boner
    Hastings, NE. 68901
    FAX: (402) 461-2393
    We suggest you make copies for your records.
  2. Your application will be reviewed to insure that the job complies with department policy and you will be notified of approval or disapproval.
  3. If you have any questions, contact Captain Gene Boner during business hours, or email gboner @hastingspolice.org
