Due to the concerted efforts of the BPDBS leadership, in discussion with Police Commissioner Davis, the BPD has agreed to increase the hours for outside employment from the present 20 hours to 32 hours.

Our union is presently the only union to have obtained this benefit. All requests for outside employment still have to be obtained through the Police Commissioner's office.

Our thanks to Commissioner Davis for realizing the financial difficulties our members face in this economy and for acting on our request so expeditiously.
