Special Duty / Private Event Police Services

The Mar-Mac Police Department may assign officers to work special-duty details for private organizations and individuals when additional police presence, traffic control, or event safety services are requested.

Examples of eligible services include:

• traffic control for events or construction
• security presence at community or private events
• funeral or processional escorts
• church or venue crowd management
• other law-enforcement related functions as approved

Assignments will not be approved for labor disputes, private investigations, or services inconsistent with department policy or law.

Rates and Minimums:

Compensation for special-duty assignments is calculated as:

• 1.5 times the officer’s regular hourly wage, and
• minimum assignment of four (4) hours
• minimum assignment of two (2) hours for traffic control or escorts

In addition to wages, the following district administrative and equipment fee applies:

• $50 per assignment for up to four (4) hours, or
• $100 per assignment for assignments exceeding four (4) hours up to twelve (12) hours)

These fees cover agency administrative processing, standard payroll deductions, and equipment usage costs.

Billing and Payment:

• All billing is issued by the Mar-Mac Police Department
• Payment is made to the District, not to individual officers
• Check payment instructions will be provided upon approval
• Late cancellations made less than 24 hours prior to the event may be billed up to the four-hour minimum
