Special duty employment is the performance of a service for a person, organization, corporation, or government entity other than the Department of Law Enforcement by a law enforcement officer of the Department of Law Enforcement acting in a law enforcement capacity, in return for which the law enforcement officer receives direct or indirect payment or compensation of some kind during non-assigned hours of duty. Such service is predicated on the actual or potential use of law enforcement authority or police powers as an extension of law enforcement services performed. Special duty employment is not outside employment.
The Department anticipates that this will be a solicitation and contract with no cost to the Department.
Proposals should address the following:
•        Benefits and protections to the Department, Officers, and the Public;

•        Measures to ensure distribution of special duty assignments is fair, impartial, and open to all eligible department law enforcement officers;

•        Requirements from Department including officer eligibility and identification for eligibility, limitations, point of contact, and any other needs or requirements of working with the Department;

•        The process of scheduling special duty with officers, invoicing of those requesting special duty officers, and payment to provider and officers;

•        How taxes of officers for special duty work is coordinated;

•        Documentation for auditing purposes by the Department;

•        Insurance if available;

•        Legal benefits, protections;

•        Contact information for any demonstrations that may be available; and

•        Any and all other benefits, features, and opportunities for the Department, its Officers, and the Public.
Special Duty for Other State Agencies. Department law enforcement officers may work special duty for other State agencies in which case they are paid through their regular payroll on an over-time basis and not through the special duty system. Additionally, State agencies are not permitted to pay any special duty contract provider for the services of scheduling special duty for their respective State agencies, but are required to reimburse the Department for any and all overtime costs incurred by the department for any special duty overtime assignments. Therefore, all proposals must also identify the following:
•        Whether the services will include scheduling special duty for other State agencies or departments;

•        Whether there is any cost for this service and if so to who; and

•        How the Department will be given notice or documentation of these services to allow the Department to bill the other State agencies for the overtime pay of the officers involved.
Proposals should include a history of providing this service to law enforcement agencies and a list of other agencies in the country.
The award of the contract will be based on the proven capabilities of the provider and what constitutes the best value and service to the Department.
