Police detail rates are the flat fee that construction and utility companies have to pay for a detail cop, and most towns require a 10% admin fee, which serves to ADD to the city coffers.
When those companies hire flaggers, the companies have to pay Workman Comp, FICA and Unemployment taxes, which is not paid to the police on detail - they get the flat rate.
