Agenda Item Text:
Approve the renewal of the Master Services Agreement with Cochise County, Cochise County Sheriff's Office and Off Duty Management for coordination of off-duty employment of Sheriff's deputies for an additional year effective May 17, 2024, through May 17, 2025.
Background:
The Sheriff's Office and most local and state law enforcement agencies across the country frequently participate in off-duty employment. Our training and legal authorities as peace officers meet the needs of certain private businesses while achieving the mission of law enforcement, improving public safety. Some examples include monitoring traffic in construction zones, escorting wide loads and providing security at various establishments. Cochise County HR Policy 2219B authorizes Deputy Sheriffs to be employed in this capacity.
Traditionally, a Sheriff's Office employee would coordinate with the private businesses to schedule off-duty employment of deputies. The Sheriff's Office is requesting the Board of Supervisors to approve a renewal contract with Off Duty Management (ODM). There is no cost to Cochise County for their services. Their fee is paid by the business requesting an off-duty deputy. They provide this service to various law enforcement agencies in Arizona and nationally. They handle all aspects of off-duty employment such as notifications, scheduling, tax and payroll integration. Their company ensures workmans' comp and insurance liability concerns are covered.
This is a renewal of an agreement which began on May 17th, 2022 and expires May 17th, 2024.
NO FISCAL IMPACT.

Department's Next Steps (if approved):
After BOS approval we will continue utilizing ODM's services.
Impact of NOT Approving/Alternatives:
Failure to approve the contract with Off Duty Management will mean the Sheriff's Office will be responsible for coordinating deputy sheriff off-duty employment with private business. This includes scheduling, checking liability coverage, helping with tax documents and troubleshooting any other issues associated with the off-duty employment.
