"On-Call Duty"
Many public safety agencies rely on overtime, volunteers and part-time workers to staff essential positions. In larger agencies, those paid for extra duty may be at the top of a seniority list. Smaller agencies, when faced with unexpected illnesses or injuries, often resort to call-ups or callbacks. While some welcome the opportunity to earn premium pay, restrictions such as alcohol abstinence are not always appealing. This document is located in the Core Database under document #601080.

"Eagle Eye Citizen Speed Enforcement Program"
The Eagle Eye Citizen Speed Enforcement Program is used to address speeding vehicle complaints in residential neighborhoods. This program allows the community to "partner" with the police department to address a common problem that draws on limited police resources. The program involves the police department lending a hand-held radar unit to private citizens to check the speed of cars in residential neighborhoods. This document can be located in the Core Database under document #600256.
