Hi,
Figured this has been asked in the past, but could not find it in the archives.....
Our Dep. Chief has asked for suggestions for an alternate shift schedule. We currently work 8 hour-5 days on/2 off and shift one day forward every 4 weeks (Yes, it sucks. Very fun trying to schedule vacation 6 months in advance). The dept. has approx. 450 sworn with 5 pct.'s and no take-home cars for patrol.
The common suggestions are 12 hour (easiest to change to for manpower and vehicles) and 4 on/3 off 10 hour(Sun-Wed and Wed-Sat). Obviously, everyone works on Wed's.
Please send comments/suggestions on what shifts your dept. has or what you are familiar with.
Thanks,
Jason
