Benefits of Hiring Off-Duty Police Officers
Working with off-duty law enforcement professionals gives your organization a higher level of protection and credibility than traditional private security. These officers bring real-world experience, advanced training, and the legal authority to act decisively in critical situations, qualities that make a measurable difference in safety and risk prevention.
Key advantages include:
- Immediate Law Enforcement Experience: Off-duty police officers are trained to assess threats, de-escalate conflicts, and manage emergencies. Their on-duty experience translates directly into faster, more successful responses in the field.
- Strong Deterrent Presence: The presence of a uniformed officer signals authority and discourages unwanted behavior. Their visibility alone reduces risk, whether the goal is to secure a business, event, or construction site.
- Legal Authority and Professional Accountability: As compared to standard security guards, off-duty officers retain their law enforcement credentials. They can take lawful enforcement action when necessary, providing a layer of legal authority and accountability that private security cannot.
- Better Coordination with Local Agencies: Because these officers are part of the communities they serve, they maintain strong ties with local police departments. This improves coordination, reporting, and incident response if additional law enforcement support is ever required.
By partnering with us, clients gain access to dependable, professional officers who combine on-the-ground experience with structured oversight, providing peace of mind that every security detail is handled with professionalism and integrity.

Our Off-Duty Services
Static Post
Cascadia Off-Duty’s primary service provides a dedicated off-duty police officer or off-duty security guard stationed at a designated post, with or without a vehicle. These officers maintain a visible law enforcement presence to deter criminal activity and guarantee safety at your site. Depending on client preferences and agency policies, officers may wear standard uniforms or alternative attire. While assigned to your post, off-duty officers retain their legal authority to make arrests or issue citations if they witness criminal behavior.
Roving Patrol
Our roving patrol service is a cost-effective way to secure multiple sites without a permanent on-site officer. Ideal for clients with multiple properties or large service areas, these patrols act as a strong deterrent against suspicious activity. Officers operate marked or unmarked vehicles, perform random checks, and directly communicate with clients during each visit. This flexible off-duty security option provides visible protection and ongoing peace of mind.
Traffic Control
Cascadia Off-Duty offers professional traffic control services with uniformed off-duty police officers managing the safe movement of vehicles and pedestrians. Available in nearly all weather conditions, our officers ensure safety during road work, construction, or public events. Using reflective vests, light wands, and communication tools, our team helps reduce liability, improve traffic flow, and maintain order on both public and private roads.
Emergency Response
In emergencies, immediate response is critical. Cascadia Off-Duty partners with trained off-duty officers ready to act quickly in any situation. Our off-duty police services are available for planned events or unforeseen incidents, offering short-term coverage or continuous 24/7 protection. Officers are equipped to handle crisis situations, providing reassurance when needed.
Executive Protection
Cascadia Off-Duty specializes in executive protection for corporate leaders, VIPs, and high-profile individuals. Our off-duty police professionals protect clients during transportation, at residences, offices, or major events. Officers are fully trained, armed, and authorized to make arrests as needed. Depending on your preference, they can operate in plainclothes or uniform and are available on an ongoing or scheduled basis.

Off-Duty Police Services FAQs
What are Off-Duty Services?
Off-duty services allow businesses and individuals to hire sworn law enforcement officers for private security needs. These officers are active-duty or retired professionals who provide services such as event security, traffic management, asset protection, and more, while still retaining the authority and training of a law enforcement officer.
What Is the Difference Between Officers and Security Guards? Should I Hire a Guard Instead?
The primary difference lies in authority, training, and expertise:
Officers: Sworn law enforcement personnel with the authority to enforce laws, make arrests, and handle high-risk situations.
Security Guards: Private personnel trained to deter crime and observe/report suspicious activities, without law enforcement powers.
If your needs require a visible deterrent, enforcement capabilities, or someone with specialized training, hiring an off-duty officer is the better choice. Guards may suffice for lower-risk situations like general surveillance or access control.
What Is the Cost of an Off-Duty Officer?
Costs vary based on factors such as location, the nature of the assignment, duration, and required expertise. Contact us for a tailored quote based on your specific needs. 800-939-1549
