# Departmental Order 12 ## Chapter 1 ### 1.5.5.8 Special Details and Post Assignments Special details and post assignments are based on training, qualifications, or experience at the discretion of the Special Events Unit Commander or designee. Members of the Special Events Unit work Special Events and Temporary Extra Duty Jobs. This may include being the Special Events Coordinator or needing a liaison officer, or someone with specific knowledge of the job requirements. Thus, members are exempt from any assessment of hours and will be assigned at the discretion of the Special Events Unit Commander. ### 1.5.6 Extra Duty Job Cancellation Process An Extra Duty Job that is approved can be cancelled at any time for a conflict of interest, whether real or apparent, violation of Departmental Policies, or if the required work casts a negative perception to the image of the City of Miami or the Miami Police Department. Any cancellation to an Extra Duty Job is done only by the Chief of Police or designee. The Special Events Unit will notify the employer of the reasons for the cancellation in writing, on the very next business day. ### 1.6 General Rules and Responsibilities of Employees Working Extra Duty: #### 1.6.1 Rank The Miami Police Department prefers that all extra duty jobs are filled by the required rank. Preference will be given to the required rank. All extra duty jobs are paid at the required rank, not the individual’s rank. This is not applicable when the form of payment is at time and one-half city payroll. #### 1.6.2 Non-Supervised Jobs All extra duty jobs with three officers or less and no supervisor required are considered non-supervised jobs. #### 1.6.3 Supervision Four or more police officers require a supervisor, who is one of the four. Two supervisors require a lieutenant as the commanding officer. #### 1.6.4 Supervisors Under no circumstances will a supervisor or commanding officer work an extra duty job that is coordinated by, supervised, or controlled in any way by a member subordinate in rank. #### 1.6.5 Sergeants Sergeants are supervisors and will only be permitted to work as Sergeants on Special Events. Sergeants working for temporary jobs staffed by the Special Events Unit should only work as police officers as a last minute fill in, after a reasonable effort is made to fill the job. Sergeants are permitted to work as supervisors on permanent extra duty jobs and as police officers on permanent single officer jobs. Sergeants are permitted to work as supervisors or officers on all special request temporary jobs. No sergeant shall work as a subordinate to another sergeant. Any exceptions are approved by the Special Operations Section Commander or designee. #### 1.6.6 Lieutenants Lieutenants are Commanding Officers and will only be permitted to work as Lieutenants on Special Events. For temporary jobs staffed by the Special Events Unit, Lieutenants should only work as a Sergeant or officer as a last minute fill in, after a reasonable effort is made to fill the job at the required rank. Lieutenants are permitted to work as supervisors on permanent extra duty jobs and as police officers on permanent single officer jobs. Lieutenants are permitted to work as supervisors or officers on all special request temporary jobs. No lieutenant shall work as a subordinate to another lieutenant. Any exceptions are approved by the Special Operations Section Commander or designee. #### 1.6.7 Captains Captains are Commanding Officers and will only be permitted to work as Captains on Special Events. For temporary jobs staffed by the Special Events Unit, Captains should only work as a Lieutenant, Sergeant, or officer as a last minute fill in, after a reasonable effort is made. **Rev: 12/10/2019**
