As a Non-American, who visited the US a few times, it was strange to me that some Police Officers in the US had second jobs as security guards in pubs. I encountered that in various cities; Miami, Houston, Denver, Seattle, Chicago, New York.
Both countries I have citizenship of would not allow police officers to have second jobs, as they officially work 24 hours a day. Maybe the problem is that police officers in the US don't get paid enough for a decent living?
