Private security and private investigation work are prohibited outright; anyone wanting officers files a staffing request, signs a labor agreement and pays the department, which then assigns, supervises and pays the work as special event overtime.

If your agency is not here
These are the Idaho agencies whose own documents we have been able to obtain and read in full. An agency missing from this list usually means the policy is not published rather than that there is no policy - your own chain of command holds the current version.
The four pages in our off-duty section describe how this kind of work runs in general, whatever your agency.
