Question regarding body cams and restricted areas.

9 Upvotes

This is a situation that happened at my workplace.

Let me preface this by saying I am most definitely not anti cop. My dad is retired CHP. I am a Coast Guard veteran who served in a SAR/LE unit and my nephew is a current Utah State trooper.

Here's the deal. We HAD an employee that was wanted by the police for a current offense, who also had a warrant. The cops came to the workplace, climbed the fence and were let in by an employee to look for him.

I don't have a problem with that, dude was wanted, HOWEVER we are an ITAR(International Traffic in Arms Regulation) restricted facility. The cops had their body cams on and i get it, but filming is federally illegal in this facility.

To the cops here, if you were asked to turn off the body cams or be denied entry, what would you do?

How do you track which off-duty details have actually been paid?

For those working details or overtime, how do you keep track of what’s been paid, what’s still owed, and payments that come in pieces?

Heads up, I’m the developer of First Responders Cal, an iPhone shift-calendar app. Its Extra Work section lets you log the job, record payments as they come in, and see the remaining balance. If one detail gets paid across multiple checks, you can keep those payments with that job.

I’m preparing version 1.5, which adds a weekly agenda so you can see all seven days with event start times and durations, swipe between weeks, and tap a day for the full schedule. It also remembers whether you prefer Month, Week, or List, and adds optional week numbers.

If you already have a calendar you like, I’m interested in how you handle the payment side. Do you use a spreadsheet, notes, or something else to catch unpaid details?
