by detail i am not sure what it is really. i know traffic detail is when you are directing traffic b/c of construction or something, but there are other kinds of detail right? as far as security too, is that considered detail? do you sign up to be a on a detail list, so when events need officers you are called? what does it pay/is it worth it?

This is why I asked. Detail (at least where I worked) is pretty much a superfluous word. It is put after the type of work that's being done to make it sound more important. Security Detail, Traffic Detail, WTF? Why not just say security or traffic?

Anyway, some departments allowed officers to dress in uniform and work at outside events. Mine didn't. I wish it did, though, I've heard that there's good money to be made.
