The Lago Vista Police Department allows commissioned Peace Officers to take on Secondary Employment Off-Duty in accordance with departmental policies and state and local laws. Officers who engage in off-duty work do so as independent contractors. 

While working off-duty, the primary responsibility of an LVPD Officer is to enforce federal, state, and county laws and ordinances. Their duties also include protecting life and property, as well as maintaining public peace. Officers involved in secondary employment are expected to assist any citizen in need and may be called away from their off-duty assignments in the event of an emergency.

 All requests for off-duty employment are subject to approval, and the Department reserves the right to reject any request. Because of operational demands, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to accommodate all requests. 

Individuals, organizations, or businesses wishing to hire our officers are considered Contractors for the duration of the employment. Background checks will be carried out on individuals requesting to hire officers for private functions. 

All requests are subject to approval and must be submitted at least 15 business days before the job date. If your event is less than 15 days away, please contact us directly.

If your event falls within the guidelines above and you are interested in hiring an off-duty Lago Vista Police Officer for security or traffic control services for an event fill out our form.
