Starlight, star bright, is it wise to moonlight? What about moonlighting? Is it wise having a business on the side, in addition to your regular job? Some people want to work all the time, especially if they love what they are doing. So, with the economy the way it is right now, can moonlighting be a good way to hedge your bet or mitigate your risk from being laid off or downsized? The short answer is yes.
We have not been ethics purists on the matter of county police officers picking up extra money by moonlighting in secondary jobs. There are practical arguments for allowing it, at least for the rank and file. But a line must be drawn somewhere - and Scott Daugherty's story on Wednesday showed that it's time for police and county officials to start drawing it. The county ethics commission doesn't think police should be paid directly by businesses they are supposed to be policing, and has been particularly critical of officers moonlighting for establishments with liquor licenses.
A New Jersey State Police sergeant was indicted Friday for allegedly moonlighting as an insurance company investigator without authorization and for using state resources to carry out that job. The state Attorney General's Office said James A. DeLorenzo, 54, of Blairstown pulled a report from a state police computer system for an insurance case, and failed to alert the state about an instance of insurance fraud in order to conceal his secondary employment at Geico.
By MATT MCLEOD Staff Writer It's no secret many football coaches are notoriously finicky when it comes to what their players are allowed to do in the offseason.
State troopers' hats are marks of law-enforcement distinction. But the conflicts of interest posed by too many other hats that Pennsylvania State Police brass let too many of them wear are marks of law-enforcement disgrace. A Trib analysis of 1,038 supplemental employment requests filed since 2005 found rampant moonlighting that clearly violates state police directives, the Governor's Code of Conduct and common sense:
The disclosure by The Annapolis Capital last week that the officers in charge of the Anne Arundel County Police Department's gambling investigations are moonlighting as security guards for the developer building the slots casino at Arundel Mills raises disturbing questions about government ethics and public policy. Fortunately, there are very easy answers to these questions. The policy that allows such an arrangement is absurd and should be rescinded immediately.
Romano features James Iha and John Cameron Mitchell as they take a break from their usual daily grind at the Misshapes party held at Luke & Leroy. After Iha--the guest DJ at the party--threw on Van Halen's Panama, Mitchell ventured into the DJ booth and got a quickie lesson on the equipment.
The county ethics commission and the County Council may never see eye to eye on whether police officers should be allowed to moonlight by providing security at private businesses. As we think the practice has public safety benefits, we've sided with the council in this long-running dispute, destined to be aired again when the council takes up a bill to allow off-duty county officers to work at taverns. The county wouldn't let a building inspector take a part-time job with a builder, or allow a zoning official to sell property on the side. So why, argues the ethics commission, should police officers, responsible for enforcing liquor laws, be allowed to take part-time jobs for restaurant and bar owners? As the commission put it four years ago, "Police should not be paid directly by the bu...
[Ike Carothers] said the death of 34-year-old Jeffrey Bergstrom of Ambulance Co. 44, Chicago Fire Department, last Tuesday "was a red herring" for the city of Chicago. Bergstrom worked for the Stone Park Fire Department on his days off from the Chicago Fire Department. A Northlake Fire Department fire truck crashed into Bergstrom's truck. As a result of what happened yesterday when two fire trucks crashed with one of them moonlighting from Chicago, this raises a red flag for us," Carothers told the Chicago Defender. "We have to make sure that the city of Chicago is not liable" for their actions in another township, he stated. "We want them to be alert when they come to work.
