Brief

As part of a larger study about the impact of various shift schedules on safety, health, performance, and quality of life, the National Policing Institute conducted a random phone survey of police agencies. The purposes of this phone survey, conducted first in November 2005, and again in November 2009, were to determine the proportion of agencies having various shift schedules (e.g., 8-, 10-, or 12-hours in length) for their field patrol officers and the extend to which agencies still employed rotating shifts. This report presents the findings from the 2009 follow-up survey.
