No. We have the same powers and jurisdiction that they have, but we have a great advantage over off-duty officers. We carry our own workman’s compensation insurance, liability insurance, and automobile insurance. When you hire off-duty officers from your local police agency, you are liable for any workman’s compensation or claims due to the actions of the officer you are employing. Also, working for you is our primary job, not a sideline.
