Contracted Police Services

Payment Methods:

For ongoing services, the applicant will be billed monthly and must make payment upon receipt of the billing, in cashiers' check, money order, or company check.  The city reserves the right to require payment in advance. 

When payments are more than 30 days past due, the city reserves the option of suspending the contract.  Further Contracted Police Services will be withheld until payment of arrears is received in full. 

No officer can accept money or payment of any type. 

Unscheduled Hours:

 If an officer works additional hours beyond the end of their regular CPS (e.g., makes an arrest while working extra duty and needs to complete paperwork), the applicant will not be responsible for payment of the additional costs.  The officer will submit for overtime from the City of Roseville. 

If an officer works additional hours at the request of the applicant, the applicant will be billed accordingly
