J. Secondary Employers
1. Events with a large number of participants/assignments with an increased risk factor will be
required to hire the number of officers that will ensure officer safety. The SEC shall determine the
necessary number of officers. If it is determined that an employer needs five officers working
simultaneously, the fifth officer must be a ranked supervisor. In combination, every fifth officer
shall be a supervisor. If 15 officers are needed, the third supervisor shall be a lieutenant (e.g., 12
officers, two sergeants, one lieutenant). The Chief of Police reserves the right to allow exceptions
to this rule or require that specific job sites require a police captain. The parameters established
for the number of officers required and the necessary supervisory ratio apply only to NNPD
officers. They shall not pertain to private security, officers from other jurisdictions, or deputy
sheriffs.
2. Before any secondary employment assignment to a Secondary Employer, a completed NNPD
Form # 33 will have been submitted to the SEC. [22.2.5(a,e)]
a. All potential employers must submit a Secondary Employer Request Application (NNPD Form
# 33) and receive approval from the SEC before employing NNPD officers.
b. Notification of approval (or denial) will be provided to the requesting employer within five
business days and outlines the set rate of pay, number of personnel, and the types of activity
that the officers may perform.
3. If possible, employers’ applications shall be submitted at least seven business days before the date
of service.
4. The Secondary Employer Request Application for recurring service (NNPD Form # 33) will be
valid until December 31st of the year in which it is submitted. It is renewed annually.
5. Emergency Situations
Situations may require the need to employ a secondary employment officer(s) immediately, and it
is not practical to get the appropriate forms and paperwork completed and forwarded to the SEC.
The Precinct Commander or designee may approve secondary employment on a temporary basis
in these cases.
a. The approving supervisor will be required to notify the SEC in writing by the close of the next
business day of the employment and the officer(s) assigned.
b. All normal protocols and necessary paperwork must be completed on the next business day.
K. Liability
1. Officers who choose to participate in secondary employment must acknowledge their
comprehension and understanding of the following issues pertaining to liability and workers’
compensation coverage.
2. Eligibility for workers’ compensation benefits provided by the City is governed by the Virginia
Workers’ Compensation Act provisions, including § 65.2-102 of the Code of Virginia. Officers
will be expected to file their workers’ compensation claim against the secondary employer for
injuries sustained outside the scope of law enforcement functions during the course of secondary
employment. It is recommended that the officer understand the coverage (if any) that is, or will
be, provided by the secondary employer. If the secondary employer does not provide workers’
compensation coverage for the employee, the employee has the right to obtain such coverage on
their own.
3. The employee shall acknowledge their comprehension and understanding of the issues pertaining
to liability and workers’ compensation coverage in writing (Secondary Employment Eligibility
Request Application).
