The inadequate regulation of details, as well as lack of prohibitions on officers soliciting work, creates an environment where officers can essentially extort businesses to hire detail officers, the report concluded. Justice Department investigators described one business owner who said he was told that if officers weren't hired, no police would protect his business.
The good news about some of these DOJ findings is that fixes do exist for them. It shouldn't be too hard to continue allowing details while also cleaning up the way in which they are assigned and managed.
In other words, Jackie has a point!
