As a not-for-profit corporation, we are highly dependent on generating our own revenue to support our function as a local law enforcement agency. This is accomplished by working security details in and around Bloomington. If you are interested in using our services there are some things you must know first.

• We are sworn Law enforcement officers with the same police powers as regular Sheriff Deputies. We actively support the Sheriff's Department by assisting them on the road as well as being available during emergency situations. As police officers this is our primary function, but we must also support ourselves too. This is accomplished by using our law enforcement capabilities to provide safety and security at events.
   
• We generally will not work events or functions that involve the service of alcoholic beverages. Our main reasoning for this is there is too much liability. As police officers we simply can not allow people to drink alcohol and then drive off in their cars right in front of us. In the past we had trouble with this issue (nobody wants their event security arresting patrons for OWI) and that is why we can no longer work such details.
   
• Our services are almost exclusively performed in full uniform. It is only on rare occasions and by request that we would work an event in plain clothes. Our Police Officers are always armed during events. We will only work an event with at least two of our Officers present. This is obviously a safety issue for our Officers.
   
• We charge an hourly rate for each officer that is hired to work the event. Our current rate is $20.00 hr per officer. The minimum charge is 2 Officers for one hour of work.
   
• To make a request for security, it is advised that you give us at least one months notice in advance. The more time we have the easier it is to schedule the event in and get officers to work it. If you need our Officers sooner than that, we will try to accommodate you.
