It’s literally part of their job, even when they are out of uniform.

> Police officers not engaged in work must report any suspected or observed criminal activity to a fellow officer on duty although they are not called for work. Off-duty cops still have powers yet they are barred from using them in the event of minor violations. If they encounter any minor misdemeanor, they are required to report the incident to on-duty personnel. […] Police officers who are not on the job, however, are anticipated to take appropriate action in the event a violation is dangerous.

> In the case of a serious offense, off-duty police officers are authorized by the law to utilize powers of arrest to apprehend a suspect or avert a crime from happening.
