Identify what actions could be taken to minimize the negative effects associated with working night shift.

What will be an ideal response?


In order to combat the negative effects associated with working night shift, police administrators could adjust shift times. Shifts could start earlier and end sooner, thus allowing officers to go to bed earlier. A change as simple as changing night shift from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m., instead of 12 a.m. to 8 a.m., may have significant benefits. Additionally, shifts could be adjusted so that day shift works 12 hr shifts, while night shift works 8 hr shifts. Finally, scheduling night shift officers to no more than three consecutive shifts may lessen the negative effects associated with working nights.
