Here is a news item from just yesterday involving an off-duty officer in uniform working traffic at a construction site.

Again, if you don't live here, why are you arguing about this? For that matter, why are you posting in the Washington forum at all?
Which brings up an interesting point about the common lie "police work is more dangerous than other professions."
This "officer's" injury should not count toward LEO injury statistics since he was working for a private company.
Nor should he be entitled to any 'on the job injury' insurance, sick leave or benefits. If he died, he spouse and children should not be entitled to the standard Cadillac survivor benefits.
You either for for tax payers, or for private companies. Don't double dip like a welfare cheat.
