Who approves outside employment?

• A. Chief Patrol Agent
• B. Deputy
• C. Associate Chief
• D. Chief Patrol Agent, Deputy, Associate, Assistant Chief

Answer: (D)

Outside employment requires supervisory authorization to prevent conflicts with duties and to protect performance, safety, and security. In this context, the approving authority isn’t limited to a single person—any of the senior leaders who oversee the office can grant approval: the Chief Patrol Agent, the Deputy, the Associate Chief, or the Assistant Chief. They have the responsibility and authority to assess potential conflicts, ensure the outside work won’t interfere with mission readiness, and set any conditions needed. So the best understanding is that approval can come from multiple levels of senior supervision, reflecting careful oversight of outside commitments.
