Answer to Question 1

Fatigue is a problem with shift work. It can lead to severe impairment of cognitive and motor coordination, thereby lowering productivity and/or leading to accidents. This is particularly important because of the role of discretion in policing, since police may at any time be called upon to use force.
Not surprisingly, the problems of fatigue need to be considered when deciding on the appropriate shift structures in patrol, both in terms of rotating versus assigned shifts and the length of each shift. Constantly rotating officers through each of the three shifts can ultimately take a toll on an officer's health, ability to manage stress, interpersonal relationships, and daily functioning
