Changes to Police Work Schedule
January 6, 2026
A new work schedule for over 1,000 police officers was implemented from January 1, reducing work hours from 12 to 11. This change has sparked opposition from police unions, as it means fewer rest days and a loss of annual compensation. The police leadership has requested lists of personnel affected by this schedule change to organize services. The chief of police emphasized that this adjustment would enhance policing and crime prevention. This decision is part of a broader reform plan for the police force.
