Seattle Police Department introduces new shift schedule to boost retention, wellness among officers
The Seattle Police Department announced a new shift schedule on Tuesday that aims to encourage retention and wellness, SPD said.
The change comes from an extensive review process to ensure SPD has adequate staffing during peak hours, despite having a limited staff.
Patrol shifts will now have overlapping hours to reduce low staffing during shift changes. The change will also give more flexibility to address short staffing during the week.
The new shifts will also make SPD more competitive with other agencies by offering a better work schedule, SPD said.
