Why is this?
I have heard of many departments who use a rotating shift. So you may never be on the same shift for more than 3 months at a time before it rolls around to another time schedule or some time frame like that. Is this a tactic to keep complacency from setting in on the LEO? Or maybe to keep the criminal activity from learning individual LEO patrol patterns? It would seem that with the stresses placed on LEO's that to stabilize the homelife by allowing more established shifts would help with those very same stresses that can tear apart a family. This is not meant as a criticism but meant as a questioning critique. I will eventually work in this field but out of all the things I have seen/heard of in this profession that seems to be the most de-stabilizing practice of all. Thanks folks.
