Maximum number allowed to be gone rule would need to keep Day and Early Swing together and Late
Swing and Night together; meaning (1) would be allowed off combined from Day or Night, not (1) from
each of the deployed shifts as that would cripple deployable coverages.
Modifying the current 12-hour shift deployments could increase the number of officers during the peak
hours, up until 2200 hours. Unlike the 10.5 deployment, this doesn’t drop coverages for 3.5 hours from
1700-2030 when we typically experience high call volume, usually due to rush hour and crashes.
If a 4-hour training day was scheduled on a team’s short week (day off). We could come up with a plan
to adjust officers schedules, two officers at a time for example, during the opposite week to burn half of
that time, much like SWAT officers are expected to burn time. If we can deploy more officers by
staggering similar to above, we should not be tapping into the overtime budget for shift coverages every
time we turn around; instead we could allocate OT hours for the other half of the training hours that
weren’t burned off or all of them if we were unable to schedule burn time due to non-predictable
absences (sick, military, FMLA, critical incidents, etc.). I’m confident we could develop a sign up roster
for available days/time for officers to choose their burn time; this way we still control the number of
absences during a particular shift, as much as possible of course.
