police cost money, and the amount isn't small. Most police are paid
significantly more for extra-duty work than on-duty work, and the per
hour cost may shock some of you. Is it worth it? Enough to increase
your table cost? You would need to judge. The same may well be true
for added cameras, etc. (I'm not giving an answer, just posing the
question).

I spent 12 years in law enforcement (1995-2007). I can tell you that during those years off duty jobs generally paid $20-$25 per hour. You might even catch a really good gig at $30 an hour once in a while. I cannot imagine what the guys are getting now but I’m sure it’s considerably more.
