Background:
The impetus for this contract request is Parks and Open Space’s desire to hire off-duty officers for security detail and crowd control during the operation of the Gatornationals Camping on County property (known as 40-acres). There are other events held throughout the County where the presence of off-duty officers may be requested.
For purposes of liability and workers compensation, any Deputy injured while working for the County will be treated as a County employee.
