	91	+1. Policy:
	92	+11. Employees may generally engage in volunteer activities without approval from the Sheriff's Office.
	93	+11. Volunteer activities that create a conflict of interest, are illegal, or constitute a threat to the status or dignity of the employee as a member of the law enforcement profession, as defined in AB 03_103 will be prohibited.
	94	+11. If volunteer activity interferes with an employee's performance of duties it may be addressed as a disciplinary matter and prohibited.

However, many of the same issues that exist with secondary employment also may apply to volunteer activities. Employees are expected to exercise due diligence while engaging in such activities.
