(A) Police Department escort service during the transportation of monies or valuables shall be available upon the request of private individuals or entities. Any eligible recipient who shall request such service shall pay to the city the sum of $10 in respect of each escort provided. The escort is complete when an officer accompanies a recipient from the place designated by the recipient to the recipient’s destination. If the recipient desires that the officer accompany the recipient back to the place where the escort began, or to another place, this will be considered to be a separate escort for which a separate fee shall be paid. If the service is requested on a continuing basis, the payment(s) due may be billed monthly and shall be payable upon receipt of the statement. If the service is requested only on a single occasion or intermittently, payment shall be made at the time of request for service.
(B) If, during an escort, the immediate presence of the escorting officer(s) is required elsewhere on police business, the officer may terminate the escort without liability to the city. The escorting officer(s) shall have the discretion to determine whether the escort shall be terminated under this division (B). If an escort is terminated, the recipient of the service shall not be obligated to pay the fee.
