Off duty simply means they are not working their assigned shift. They maintain full authority at all times, on or off duty.

If you are referring to the officers actions off duty, that would depend on each individual person. I learned long ago to separate my spare time from work.

here is a website that gives you a break down of the differences between off duty and on duty police officers. It explains it better then I could.

In Texas no.

My uncle was a Dallas Police Officer.

A neighbor was trying to comitt suicide.

My uncle save the neighbor.

My uncle died of a heart attack in the scuffle to take the neighbor's gun away from him.

The State paid my aunt double life insurance because my uncle was considered on duty even though he wasn't on his shift.

Police officers are always "on duty" they just don't stay on shift all the time. They still have their full authority and powers as when on shift.
