Official Summary Text

AN ACT TO AMEND TITLE 21 OF THE DELAWARE CODE RELATING TO EXTRA DUTY SERVICES BY LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS.
This Act is intended to assist homeowners associations with the troubling, challenging public-safety issue of speeding on subdivision streets.

This Act provides that any fines for violations of any provision under Title 21 of the Delaware Code, if the fine was issued by an off-duty law enforcement officer acting in an “extra duty” capacity, shall be applied to offset or refund any amounts owed or paid for the law enforcement officer’s extra duty services. “Extra duty,” in this context, means a law enforcement service performed by an off-duty law enforcement officer hired and paid for by a private person or entity. “Extra duty” services include traffic control, patrolling a specific location, and providing security. The purpose of this Act is to allow private persons and entities, such as homeowners associations, to recoup the costs of hiring law enforcement officers for extra duty services.
