Sewell told the officers -- the first to be on a 12 hour tour -- that the schedule brings “more time with your family and friends with no compromise to public safety.”The flexible schedule comes amid a mass exodus of veteran officers retiring or taking jobs at other departments for better pay and benefits. The department is experiencing high overtime costs as the rest of the force picks up the slack with extra hours.
