D.C. Mun. Regs. tit. 6, r. 6-A305
Upon receiving a member's request for authorization to perform outside employment, his or her Commanding Officer shall review and evaluate the member's work performance for a period of not less than one (1) year. This evaluation shall consist of, but not be limited to, the following:
In addition to an evaluation of the member's work performance the Commanding Officer shall evaluate the information on the P.D. 180-B (Employer's Agreement to Conditions of Employment), with specific attention to the following areas of concern set forth in §§ 305.3 through 305.6.
Although the Department has not assumed the responsibility for conducting a management security audit for each potential employer, the information concerning the tasks the employer is asking the prospective MPD employee to perform shall be evaluated to determine whether they are appropriate and compatible with the police function specified. In situations where it is obvious that the tasks to be performed are clearly unreasonable, disapproval shall be recommended and the specific reasons for this action outlined in a separate memorandum.
The information concerning the duties to be performed shall be evaluated to ensure that they fall within the provisions of this chapter.
Available information concerning the potential employer and the potential work site shall be reviewed in order to assess the suitability of the employer or work site as they relate to a potential conflict of interest with the member's responsibilities to this Department. This issue shall be specifically addressed in the required endorsement by the Commanding Officer for all requests to perform police-related outside employment.
Commanding Officers shall process requests to perform outside employment in the following manner:
P.D. Form 180-A shall be signed by the member's Commanding Officer and the original forwarded to the Administrative Services Officer.
Commanding Officers shall maintain an alphabetical file of P.D. Forms 180-A. This file shall be used to ensure compliance with the reporting requirements of these rules.
Impairment of the effectiveness or efficiency of a member by reason of his or her outside employment or any violations of the provisions of these rules shall be cause for an immediate recommendation by the member's Commanding Officer that authorization to perform outside employment be terminated.
Although members of this Department engaged in police-related outside employment are performing duties somewhat similar to those performed by special police officers, the Security Officers Management Branch, Intelligence Division, shall have no supervisory responsibility for those members.
Commanding Officers shall be responsible for investigating all alleged violations of these rules, or any other Department directive or law arising from outside employment. Commanding Officers shall also be responsible for investigating all injuries, incidents, and damage to equipment or uniforms which arise during a member's outside employment.
Commanding Officers shall ensure that members of their command in receipt of information concerning alleged violations of Department procedures or law relating to outside employment appropriately report those violations, and that those report received by officials of his or her command are appropriately and properly investigated.
Complaints or alleged violations of law or Department procedure which involve members of more than one command shall be investigated by the Commanding Officer or unit designated by the Field Operations Officer or, in his or her absence, the Night Supervisor.
Commanding Officers shall recommend disciplinary action to the Administrative Services Officer whenever a member is found in contempt by any court for his or her failure to comply with court directives or subpoenas or summonses issued by a court which arise from outside employment activities.
Commanding Officers shall be responsible for resolving, where appropriate, or making a specific recommendation concerning whether an act, injury, damage to uniform or equipment, incident, or other matter is to be considered "in the course of outside employment."
