Shifts

Hello All,

What are the shifts like at Pinellas? 8, 10 or 12 hours? Also how many a week. I know some or most agencies do the 12 hour shifts with 1 week being 5 shifts and the following being 2.

Appreciate the input!

It's an A and B Schedule. Days off are in parenthesis

Monday Tuesday (Wednesday Thursday) Friday Saturday Sunday.

(Monday Tuesday) Wednesday Thursday (Friday Saturday sunday)

OT is baked into the check with the extra hours.

Do most new reps go straight to nights or is it random?

Pinellas is the most densely populated county in the state, has a wide margin of ages, and large metropolitan areas. Yes it is busy but there are slow nights where you can be proactive. It depends on the squad you work.
Also, you are better off calling HR about this than posting on here and getting answers from the Non-LEOs and people who come here to talk crap/complain.

Marine and Environmental Lands Unit is the best gig out here. My friend KG was on it for a while and he loved it.

How does assignment to shifts work? Ideally I'd like to work nights but curious how often shift bid happens.
