Procedures

• Requests must be submitted no less than 10 days prior to the event. The Sheriff, or designee, may waive the 10-day requirement in an emergency or other extenuating circumstance at his discretion.
• Services will not be provided until the form below is completed and approved by the Patrol Operations Division Commander.

• For officer safety, a minimum number of officers per number of attendees at an event are required. The applicant may request a specific amount of deputies, however, the Sheriff’s Office will make the ultimate determination as to the appropriate number of deputies required to work a specific detail and whether supervisors are required. Jobs requiring 5 or more deputies will automatically be assigned a supervisor with applicable fees.

• The Sheriff’s Office reserves the right to cancel off-duty details without notice and to recall deputies for official duty when necessary for community safety. The Sheriff’s Office shall not have any responsibility nor be subject to any penalty for doing so.
• Cancellations by you, the contractor, must be made to the off-duty detail coordinator twenty-four (24) hours prior to the start of the detail. If the notice is not given, the contractor will be charged, and the assigned deputy(s) will be paid a minimum of three (3) hours.
