Supplemental Employment
The Sacramento Police Department offers permits sworn and community service officers the ability to work additional overtime jobs, which are contracted through the police department to provide outside police services with business and outside vendors within the city. These jobs are paid at an overtime rate and provide our staff to work in their departmental capacity at the Golden One Center for the Sacramento King’s NBA games, concerts and events, as well other events requiring the presence of the Sacramento Police Department throughout the city.
We also provide significant staffing on overtime for annual events, such as the Aftershock and Golden Sky music festivals, the California International Marathon, the Ironman Competition, the Run to Feed the Hungry and hundreds of other locations and events throughout the year. Police officers and Community Service Officers who have completed field training and have the permission of their supervisor are eligible to work these events if they choose to.
