Spokane researchers tackle police officer sleep deprivation KREM.com Spokane

The biggest complaint at our department is the scheduling with the courts. It seems like more often than not we will be scheduled to show up at court after working 12 hours at night and then by the time we get out of court there's only a few hours to try and squeeze in some sleep before you're back on duty. At least we have some good supervisors on our shift that usually will let us burn some comp time to get a few extra hours of sleep before we come in

As a twenty year plus Midnight commando, I appreciate the efforts and look forward to the results and suggestions. It is time for that elephant in the room to be addressed. Stay safe!
