C 1515 SECONDARY EMPLOYMENT WHERE ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES ARE SERVED: All
members of the Department
are prohibited from providing law
enforcement or security related services for any
employer or establishment whose major business
is the sale and/or service of alcoholic beverages,
e.g., bars, nightclubs |
1995
Statistics:
In 1995, 50% of the ( CI ) Citizen-Initiated and Department
Initiated ( DI ) Complaints filed against the San Jose
Police Officers who worked off duty involved allegations of Unnecessary
Force ( UF ) The majority of the use of force complaints
originated at a bar or nightclub.
There were 927
work permits issued to 596
Police Officers
with some
officers having as many as three
off-duty work
permits on
file at one time. Approximately 50% of the entire
San Jose Police Department
had
off duty work permits issued.
The
area that has
generated the most
calls and
complaints to
the
Independent Police
Auditor involved
officers who whore
San Jose Police
uniforms while
working off-duty. Of the 596
officers with
off-duty work
permits, 352 ( 59% )
officers worked off duty in
uniform.
A
frequent complaint expressed by the citizens was that
officers response to non-emergency calls was slow or not
forthcoming. Uniformed San Jose Police Officers working
off-duty would have high visibility unlike those working
off-duty wearing civilian clothes. Citizens have complained
that officers were standing idly outside bars instead
of on patrol. The public perception and expectation being
that Police Officers in uniform should be willing and
ready to serve the public.
Conflicts
of Interest
concerns
have arisen if a San
Jose Police Officer working at a bar or nightclub would
see patrons entering or leaving the establishment appearing
to be intoxicated to the point where they were unable to care
for themselves, or situations where a nightclub would be
filled beyond legal capacity. San Jose Police Officers were
placed in situations where job security at the nightclub
would be in direct conflict with their duties as
police officers. Obviously, officers would often be reluctant to
prosecute or investigate their Secondary Employer if, for
example; If the bar or nightclub where the officer were
employed were to inadvertently serve an alcoholic beverage
to a minor, or if the officer was aware of or
witnessed the
establishment violating other ABC
regulations.
