Police moonlighting - with per
POLICE commanders have approved more than 300 applications from the state's 4100 police officers to work second jobs ranging from acting to massage therapy.
The 314 officers who applied to take second jobs during the past two financial years, have been granted permission to moonlight by SA Police assistant commissioners, directors or the deputy commissioner.
According to a list of jobs applied for and approved, obtained by The Advertiser under Freedom of Information laws, officers are using their spare time to work across a range of industries and occupations, from funeral drivers and tour bus operators to toy gift importers and weather readers.
Others are working as registered nurses, relief primary school teachers, casual ambulance officers, migration consultants, grape pickers and martial arts and firearms instructors.
The FoI documents show that in the past financial year there were 185 second job applications, compared with 129 in 2004-05.
Under tough SA Police regulations, officers wishing to pursue secondary employment must apply in writing. Applications are for six months and are then subject to annual review.
"High risk" employment categories, such as private security, transport, licensing and gaming, are generally not approved.
Police Association of SA president Peter Alexander said while secondary employment was often undertaken, in some cases it also was about pursuing personal interests, such as martial arts, fitness instructing and website design.
"We deal with some officers who get knocked back because the particular work is considered not appropriate - things like security, transport or liquor and gaming work," he said.
Opposition police spokesman Rob Lucas said there was "a risk there were officers with secondary employment that was undeclared".
"Clearly some officers are doing it (second jobs) because they need the extra money, but some also are doing it for personal interest or they may well be looking at a possible career change," he said.
Police Minister Paul Holloway said he was satisfied with the "strict rules" governing the approval process.
SA Police human resources director Peter Menzies said approval will not be granted where secondary employment impacts on performance requirements, or for any occupation that could impinge on integrity or discredit SAPOL or the employee.
