How long to police officers work daily?

Answer 1

It totally depends on the department.

Some departments do rotating shifts, and some give you a schedule.

For the most part, you do not chose your schedule. It is picked for you. When you are a rookie, you will most likely get the less favorable hours; however, when you receive around 10 years of seniority, you are given better hours.

Every Department establishes the work schedule based on 40 hour weeks. Meet & Confer or unions also negotiate the number of hours vs. pay.
