Fees for requesting special duty police officers

(a) Any person or entity requesting the services of a special duty police officer will be assessed an administrative fee of $18 for each request for a police officer, plus $2 for each additional officer requested. For every request, there will also be a workers’ compensation fee of up to $5 per day for each officer. The workers’ compensation fees will be deposited into the general trust fund and maintained in a separate account for the purpose of paying workers’ compensation expenses for officers injured while on special duty assignments. These fees will be assessed by the Honolulu police department and will be in addition to any charge assessed for the services of the special duty police officer. These fees will not be assessed to the extent that a request is not fulfilled. (b) Once the workers’ compensation fee separate account reaches a range between $500,000 and $1,000,000, the chief of police shall reduce the workers’ compensation fee to maintain the account within this range. (c) Within 30 days after the first day of each fiscal year, the department of budget and fiscal services shall file a report with the city clerk. The report shall include the following information for the prior fiscal year: (1) The fee charged; (2) Total workers’ compensation fees collected; (3) The fund balance in the workers’ compensation fee separate account at the end of the prior fiscal year; and (4) Details of expenditures from the account, including administrative costs, fringe benefits, workers’ compensation benefits, and training costs. )
