(1) The tasks involved in the off-duty employment are of such a nature that they will not tend to impair the Police Officer's ability to perform his/her duties for the Village;
(2) The nature of the off-duty employment will not tend to result in visits, telephone calls or other communications to the Police Officer while in the performance of his/her duties for the Village;
(3) The nature of the off-duty employment will not conflict with or impair the ability of the Police Officer to perform his/her duties for the Village;
(4) The off-duty work is not located at a bar or restaurant where alcohol beverages are sold and consumed on the premises; and
(5) The off-duty employment meets all additional criteria set forth in the Departmental Policies and Standards promulgated pursuant to Section 139.03.
(b) Prior to beginning such off-duty employment, the Police Officer shall obtain written approval for the off-duty employment from the Chief of Police.
(c) For part-time Police Officers whose primary employment is not with the Village, the Chief of Police, with the approval of the Mayor, may waive any of the foregoing provisions of this section as they apply to that Police Officer's primary employment, provided that such waiver does not frustrate the intent of this section.
