How will 12 hr shifts work for community police? The two don't seem compatible.
How are you balancing out the hours? Three 12 hour shifts are only 36 hours a week. Will the Flint Police have to be on a different pay schedule to get full pay as a scheduled work day does not include overtime pay.
I'm not sure what you mean by not compatible, but I would propose putting half on a day shift and the other half on a cover shift (3p-3a) or something along those lines. In other municipalities, community police work 10 hour shifts, but they are able to flex their hours depending on the needs of the neighborhood they are assigned to.
A straight 12 hour shift schedule works out to 84 hours in a pay period (7 working days in a 14 day period). Each agency varies on how to handle the extra 4 hours. Some agencies pay the extra four hours in overtime pay or comp time. Others replace one 12 hour shift with an 8 hour shift to equal 80 hours. Some even work two 10 hour shifts instead of straight 12's to remove the extra four hours.
Below is an example of a straight 12 hour schedule. Notice on week two, the employee only works 2 days.
Mon- work
Tues- work
Wed- off
Thur- off
Fri- work
Sat- work
Sun- work
Mon- off
Tue- off
Wed- work
Thur- work
Fri- off
Sat- off
Sun- off |

Your schedule works as you would have the employees working 14, twelve hour days in a 28 day period for a total of 168 hours. No OT is required until after 171 hours as the FLSA has special provisions regarding the payment of OT for police and fire personnel. Of course, these provisions would be negotiable but on its face, the law would provides what you are looking for without the need to pay OT.
For your reference, Section 7(k) of the FLSA provides that employees engaged in fire protection or law enforcement may be paid overtime on a "work period" basis. A "work period" may be from 7 consecutive days to 28 consecutive days in length. For example, fire protection personnel are due overtime under such a plan after 212 hours worked during a 28-day period, while law enforcement personnel must receive overtime after 171 hours worked during a 28-day period. For work periods of at least 7 but less than 28 days, overtime pay is required when the number of hours worked exceeds the number of hours which bears the same relationship to 212 (fire) or 171 (police) as the number of days in the work period bears to 28. |

Is this where are our union and administration are headed?
Report: Mayor Dave Bing, Detroit's largest union heading to court

Mayor Dave Bing isn't going to jail as Detroit's largest union request last month, but he is heading to court.
The Detroit News reports Bing's ongoing battle with the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees will continue in court after the union last week sued the city in Wayne County Circuit Court.
Facing an estimated $300 million budget deficit, Bing wants the all city workers to accept a package of concessions, including a 10 percent pay cut in the form of furlough days.
Many city unions have already accepted Bing's proposal, but AFSCME has refused to budge and says in its lawsuit that Bing's staff hasn't provided it with requested information.
Dec. 19, DetNews.com: Among the missing documents are how much Detroit would save from some of Bing's proposals, such as eliminating daily overtime and reducing paid time off, union officials said.
...Bing's staff told The Detroit News this summer that union benefit cuts could save the city $19 million, in addition to the $11 million that could be saved through furloughs.
The union's contract expired in 2008 and leaders have been involved in heated negotiations with Bing since May.
Bing in October stopped collecting union dues and in November threatened to tear up contracts of thousands of city workers.
In response, AFCME unsuccessfully asked Wayne County Judge Amy Hathaway to throw Bing in jail for contempt of court.
