Wouldn’t surprise me if it was a Union thing, or just the city hierarchy itching to strut their stuff.

My money's on the Union thing.

During the chaos on the Friday Live Thread, I was following BPD scanner traffic. Chatter on the net began talking about (and I'm quoting from memory) any officer having been on duty more than 18 hours needed to report to the command tent for debrief. Union rules for overtime.

During an all-hands this-is-not-a-drill event, they were more concerned about union compliance.

Nothing drives poor decision making more than fatigue. A person working 18 hours in a high stress environment is more of a hazard than an asset.

Do you really want a cop on duty more than 18 hrs without a debrief?

Union rules for overtime.

Their words or your personal interpretation?
