Hmm...mainly shifts and manpower levels. Some have worked 6 weeks without a weekend off. Shifts are getting changed at short notice due to lack of Observers. One unit had to close due to sickness. Not just because 8 is not enough, but also one unit is undermanned anyway which makes the problem worse. One guy came off nights and was asked to start a night shift at another unit 8 hours later. That would be after the drive home which was just over an hour and then a 1h 45m drive for the next shift. Not a lot of time for sleep there. He declined. Another worked 7 nights out of 10 duties. Some aren't pulling their weight with regards to making things just a bit easier.
your tfo's don't come under police regs?
