PS "rarely getting a lunch" is VOT... Take your lunch or claim the OT. We deserve breaks and down time. Yeah, I know. We get a "no lunch hour taken" and it gets banked in our cashable time. I never work for free. Same here. I am guilty of doing stuff for free when I started but that is over. It act...

Edited. I’ll save my grievances for the private side.

Good afternoon, My understanding is that both Peel and Halton are on 12 hour shifts, 4 on - 4 off, 2 days - 2 nights. Can someone please share with me the actual times of all the shifts?

Hi All, I'm hoping to get some insight from officers or civilian employees to make a better decision about my schooling moving forward.
