that shouldn't be law enforcement. >> the salt lake city p.d. runs a brisk business in off-duty work. they charge a $6 equipment fee for every shift worked and a minimum of four hours per shift. last year the city cleared almost $85,000 on this fee, which means at least 56,000 hours were worked off-duty by police. at $30 an hour, they made almost $1.7 million last year working off-duty. many departments around the country have a limit on the number of off-duty hours an officer can work. salt lake city does not. >> there's a temptation for officers to work as much part-time work they can handle. how do you balance that with their on-duty hours and responsibilities? >> we do track how many hours they work, and so i can go and pull up an officer and say, this is how many hours they worked especially if it's an issue. that's why we have the oversight we do in the police department. >> when we asked for the number of off-duty hours worked last year, the department couldn't tell us. why? officers are paid directly by the employer, but if there was a ma
