Quick question for you guys, what happens on the daylight savings switches (like last night) regarding the logging of time? Do you just have two 0100 hour periods in your time logs? Do you somehow distinguish the two separate hour slots, or doesn't it really matter? My roommates and I were discussing it, but we're really sure what cops do. Thanks.

My department takes an hour off. We don't answer calls, we just use the time to raid the local Racetrac for much needed coffee.

They stagger late shift's starting time so some start regularly and some start an hour late.
Time cards are filled out like the time didn't change.
Reports are done with the correct time, and if the time changed during the incident that's noted in the report. For example, if you get a blood draw warrant and the time changes before you execute the warrant you will use the "correct" time but note in your probable cause that the time is due to DST and the actual elapsed time was X minutes.
I did stop a car at 0230 real time and issued a summons, but put 0330 because I hadn't set my watch back yet. Just did a quick correction the report and that was it.I miss you, Dave.
