12 Hour Shifts

Hey, look on the bright side! These two guys could go under cover in Flanagan and West Broward High. It will be just like 21 Jump Street. The only problem I see is that the kids that were Juniors when they were Seniors will still be there and could blow their cover.

u kiddin? You could put 30 year olds in there and they would fit right in....have you seen those students lately?
The 19 year olds can work the middle schools.

YEA, YOU THINK THESE 19 Y/Os ARE BAD. YOU SHOULD SEE THE FEW WE HAVE IN THE ACAD NOW. COMPLETLEY USELESS. HOPEFULLY WE CAN FAIL THEM OUTTA FTO.

just so you know, they wont behiring anyone rite now because if we go to the new 12h shift then they will need less officers and when officers leave they will not be replacing them

There are a few ways to schedule 12 hour shifts. Option 1 - Coconut Creek (also used by Lauderhill and Miami Gardens) method described above with rotating days off, but everyone would have a 3 day weekend every other week. Option 2 - Fixed Days Off - If shift picks are done by seniority, then your senior guys will like this, but the newer guys will not. One Platoon will work Mon-Thur week one and Mon-Wed week two. The other Platoon would work Fri-Sun week one and Thur-Sun week two. Of course, the fixed days could be tweaked some to allow both platoons to have a partial weekend off. Option 3 - Four days on and four days off. West Palm Beach method. The downside to this is always working four days in a row, which can be very tiring. These shifts can also be modified to an 11.5 hour shift, where you only work 80.5 hours in a 14 day cycle. The facts are that compared to a traditional 5/2 schedule, you get 78 more days off per year. Compared to a 4/10 schedule, you get 26 more days off per year (extra month).

12 hour shifts are a negative no matter how you try to sell it. When was the last time you were at work on your last hour and said to yourself....boy it would be great to work another 2 hours!!!!
