Re: My First PA Encounter with a Cop (?)
When I was much younger the mall I used to hang out at had an off duty cop working as security, but he wore his police uniform, not a security guard outfit. Don't know if they still do that but there was no mistake the guy was a cop. However, the mall was in two jurisdictions 2/3rds of it in his township, if he had trouble in the other part he would call the local police for that part to take care of any arrests he made.
When I was in construction doing highway repairs we hired off duty Philadelphia cops to work the work zone, they had a police car and uniform when performing this job but were technically off duty.
This experience led me to believe an off duty cop moonlighting as a security guard would have his dept. uniform on.
