04 July Schedule

More days off cancelled for no particular reason (click for larger version):


At first glance it looks like everyone loses a day off, with 66 and 61 getting the shaft on 04 July.

Do any of the assholes in charge realize that you only get certain holidays two or three times in a ten year span? And when you get one - because everyone knows your days off a year in advance - you might make solid plans to see family you haven't seen in quite a while?

We guess we're supposed to be thankful we even get a single day off?

Great july 4th RDO is canceled... for a city that hates me they make sure im here all the time.... maybe I can get assigned to "protect" people at a flag burning ceremony.... which I find as offensive as some hearing a N bomb dropped. When do we get the 1% raise and rhe 3% tax increase?

We need this put into the contract.

Cancel an RDO with less than a month notice- it’s double time.
Cancel a HOLIDAY RDO, and it’s triple time.

FOP, please help!
We need some sort of protection to dissuade the city from just doing whatever they want at a whim.

Drop a par form for leave of absence without pay on your day off if they are cancelling it. You don't lose money because it's your day off and they have to give you the day off. If they want a reason tell them it's a personal family matter. If you don't believe this will work you have a week to check into it, it's been done before. If you really wanted this day off and had plans made this is the answer.

At one point in my career, I sold 60 days vacation back. What a fucking idiot, huh? I regret that. In a three year period, I took off 11 days total. I thought I was doing good for my Country. I was nothing but an ignorant moron. Patriotism is for suckers. They even screwed me on the payout for the vacation days.
I wish I would have never worked with an injury. I wish I would have gone to medical and recorded every nick, bruise, and broken bone. I didn't. I'm paying for that in retirement. I should have had all those surgeries on their time, on their dime.
Take care of yourself. Honestly, I would have given my life for this country. I volunteered for the worst of the shit because I always felt that it was the right thing to do. Now? I wouldn't piss on these people if they were on fire.

Been on the job for 20 yrs to be exact. The job has changed drastically and not for the better. As most cops know, change is not something we like. Anything that takes away from what we are used to doing is not something we embrace but it is not something we can avoid so we have to change the way we police.

I've been an avid reader for many years and I see the frustration from a lot of my fellow coppers but lately it seems like it's become overwhelming. Given the climate and the way the department has changed we need to work smarter, not harder. We need to come together more than ever before because this whole veteran vs 2 yr wonder attitude is only going to divide us more than we already are. What happened to the comraderie this dept once had? what happened to the true brotherhood of ALL cops? This is not a time to fight against each other or constantly complain about every little thing.

If the city wants to cancel days off and you're willing to come in, take money and hit the city's pockets. If your day off is canceled and you have plans then don't go to work, don't answer your phone, a simple voice mail will NOT suffice so that is that. We as police need to worry about ourselves and our family, we need to selfish in that aspect. Never depend on the dept to take care of you because that's not going to happen. The more conscious we are of that, the better off we will be.

Lastly, sorry for the Russian novel but I hardly comment on here but I just wanted to get a few things off of my chest in hopes that some of you if not all really think about what you need to do to survive this new age policing culture.

I have the day off. My day off is now cancelled and I have to work. Meanwhile, someone with a lot less time than me can put in for comp time, get it approved and have the day off. I don't have an option to get the day off?

How the fuck is this right?
Cancel elective time before you cancel RDO's!


Also, in this notice they talk about tour of duty exchange. Unless I'm reading it wrong, what difference does a tour of duty exchange make if all RDO's are cancelled????

Just stupid

You’re wrong. Official start time for 3rd watch is 1530. City is allowed to adjust your start time by 2 hours. Page 136 of FOP contract.

It doesn't matter. Since your RDO is being cancelled and you are getting time and one half for the day you can't get anything extra for a change in start time. It is called pyramiding and there are arbitrators' decisions that say that you can't do that.

Honestly are you guys new or what?? Listen, every year for the past 26 years I’ve been on they have restricted time and cancelled days off for Memorial Day, July 4th and Labor Day. Stop making plans or being surprised about this. If you thought otherwise when you came on then someone really misinformed you about this job. If you wanted weekends off and holidays then you shouldn’t have become the police. Way too many people taking this job in the past 10 years who are so incredibly entitled to straight days, any day off they want and inside spots at 5 years. Get in line because you are nobody on the totem pole.

Yes!! FOP address these issues. I don't want the option of "tour of duty exchange"!!! I don't want to work on the shitty westside "another" day, I want to be away from there as much as possible. I take days off or enjoy RDOs to recapture a small semblance of mental health that this job is destroying 24/7 and the dept can just cancel how I recover because "it's a holiday". EAP should address the effect this is having. I'm a few days from coming off furlo, 20 years on, I hate this job, I hate this city. I don't want to step foot in the station but I don't know what else to do. Now the small reprieve we have in RDO'S and time due is cancelled AGAIN? This city loves to kick us when we're down. The world hates the police, no contract, substandard pay, COPA and media looking to jail you for any mistake. We can't even be away from this HELL when WE feel it's best. EAP and FOP PLEASE do something about this, our mental health consequences of these actions aren't discussed and don't know how much more I can take. I guess it would be cheaper for the city and dept if I or other coppers blow our heads off, so why should they care.
