This is where we make our money is off duty gigs. If you just have your CLEET etc, most places will pay you around 10-12 hr. There's not a lot of money to be made if CLEET is all you have.

After working LEO in metro Atlanta, I went to work for the CDC at their lab/compound in Lawrenceville Ga. Pay was 30.00 and hour for armed, but you had to have physicals every 6 months, rabies vac's every year, blood drawn quarterly due to all the crap there an what they were working on. You were issued a sidearm, and a shotgun in case a critter got loose, lots of infected animals there!!!!

The one on 122nd and May does. Usually Friday and Sat nights from about 11p-2am. It's the same as if they were working hospital or bank security, concerts etc. They are in uniform, off-duty, usually with their take home, and it runs 50+ an hour. I know the officer gets 50, so I imagine to make it beneficial because of gas, equipment upkeep etc, the City has to pocket a few $ too.

I've been paid upwards of $30 hr for off duty gigs. The usual price for non TPD is right around $20 hr and TPD is usually in the range of $25+ since they essentially are getting paid almost $20 an hour after a few years on the job.

If I was given the opportunity to work for $50 hr at a 7 eleven in a real ****** part of town, I dunno if I'd even mess with the headache. I enjoy money, but money ain't everything.

Its not $50 an hour, I can guarantee that. I am OCPD and our usual is $25-30 an hour. He might be getting $50 to sit there for two hours. Ive only ever seen a handful of jobs that pay $50 an hour and those are usually an emergency type of thing. I did see the railroad pay $60 an hour once but thats it.

NW 122/ May isnt a bad part of town. Quail Creek G&CC is right up the street.
