Policy
Commanders shall establish the work hours for shifts under their commands in accordance with existing labor contracts, subject to review by MPD Administration. Commanders of uniform officers shall ensure that staffing levels on Friday and Saturday Night Watch exceed weekday levels for both officers and supervisors. Officers shall report to roll call at the time and place specified in full uniform, if applicable, and properly equipped for immediate duty.
Normally only one supervisor will come in early in order to gather materials and information to be presented during roll call. The remaining supervisors will work the regular shift hours to ensure coverage by a supervisor throughout that shift. The times in which a supervisor will report for roll call preparation shall be established by the appropriate commander.
Roll calls will include taking attendance and listing the duties of each officer assigned to the shift. Newly-issued MPD orders or communications will be read as well as any other information deemed important by supervisors. Training materials and/or inspections may also be part of roll call.
