    It's dumb not to switch the jail back to 8 hour shifts

    https://www.yahoo.com/news/staffing-...200000316.html

    Even the lousy DOC, which is the worst agency in the state, is switching to 8 hour shifts to improve retention and recruitment.

    As the premier agency in the county and near the top statewide we should be switching the jail back to 8 hour shifts to ease the staffing shortage.

    12 hour shifts are failed experiment everywhere. Patrol too.

    The fairest way to do it is to have separate votes for D&C and Patrol. As far as the jail is concerned 12 hours shifts are way too long, stressful, and unhealthy, physically and mentally.

    Patrol already voted years ago for 12 hour shifts. They aren’t little *****es, and don’t mind working the extra hours, so they can have weekends off with their families, not just Tues & Weds off. Retire you old fart, only the most senior ppl get weekends off in 8s. You’ll never win

    Good for patrol. Stay on 12s and enjoy them. The jailers are not demanding that you switch to 8s or some other schedule. But you guys are the first to mention that patrol and jail are two different jobs, which they are. So until you spend 12 hours locked up in a DS pod with 80+ a-holes you don't know what 12s are like at the jail. Most of us voted against 12s three times. Then 12s were imposed upon us. Feel free to stop by and try it when you have some time to spare. It just might change your mind and you'd quit trying to dictate your shift length preference on the jail.

    There used to be a time when this agency hired men not beta soy boys who cried about not having weekends off. You had to do your time and pay your dues to get the weekends off. Seniority was respected by the administration because it was run by seasoned veterans not political hacks.

    But then the entitlement "me" generation showed up. They demanded weekends off, fast promotions, specialized assignments, etc. The administration acquiesced to the whiners' demands and disrupted the whole system which worked for many generations of cops. It was a mistake which needs to be fixed.

    You hit the nail on the head about how the 12's feel in the jail. The problem is you don't have the same freedoms as the road. You don't have a cell phone, you don't get breaks or get to meet up with your pals, You get a quick 30 minute lunch and don't you dare take a minute longer or else it will go in your PMP because the job of every corporal in the jail is to screw over the deputies so they don't have a chance to promote. The road has many perks that the 12's make it no problem to work that long.

    Patrol voted on them you moron! Everyone wanted 12s, except a handful of people who said they needed 8s for childcare. They kept a select few 8 hour spots and nobody wanted them, so new people were forced to work them, so they turned all those spots into 12s. You must be some new person who wasn't here when that occurred.
