Bedford Police Department 12-Hour Shift Trial & Weekend Police Logs

The Bedford Police Department has officially initiated a 90-day trial schedule on weekends, moving from traditional 8-hour shift rotations to 12-hour operational blocks. Below is an in-depth comparative breakdown of the shift structural changes, paired with the complete public safety logs for both the Bedford Police Department and the Lawrence County Sheriff's Department covering August 28 through August 31, 2026.

Shift Architecture & Rotation Comparison

Previous 8-Hour Schedule Rotations:

Previously, BPD operated across three distinct 8-hour windows, requiring two full shift handoffs during peak daytime and evening hours:

  • Day Shift (5:30 AM – 1:30 PM): Active officers included Sorrells, Lemke, Hatton, and Blackwell.
  • Afternoon Shift (1:30 PM – 9:30 PM): Active officers included Manke, Turner, Ball, Emmons, Swanson, and Crulo.
  • Night Shift (9:30 PM – 5:30 AM): Active officers included Blackburn, Haluda, Daugherty, and Shelhart.

New 12-Hour Trial Schedule Rotations:

The trial consolidates operations into two primary 12-hour blocks, eliminating one shift changeover per day:

  • Day Shift (5:30 AM – 5:30 PM / 6:00 AM – 6:00 PM): Active officers included Gerkin, Brooking, Daugherty, Swanson, and Bell.
  • Night Shift (5:30 PM – 5:30 AM / 6:00 PM – 6:00 AM): Active officers included Blackburn, Emmons, Ratcliff, Haluda, Crulo, Shelhart, and Ball.

Operational Impact: Pros & Cons of the 12-Hour Model

Pros:

  • Elimination of the 1:30 PM Handoff: Under the 8-hour system, a shift change occurred right at 1:30 PMβ€”coinciding with school dismissals, lunch traffic, and afternoon commercial volume. The 12-hour schedule keeps patrol units continuously active straight through the afternoon rush without transition lulls.
  • Pre-Spike Evening Transition: The former 9:30 PM shift change occurred just as weekend late-night calls began to rise. Moving the changeover to 5:30 PM/6:00 PM ensures night units are fully settled on patrol well before peak evening call volume hits.
  • Sustained Early-Morning Patrols: Night units maintained active traffic enforcement and property checks late into the morning hours, with Officers Haluda, Ratcliff, and Crulo logging continuous stops past 3:30 AM.
  • FTO Training Continuity: Recruits in field training (like Officer Ball) receive uninterrupted exposure across both daytime commercial traffic and late-night emergency responses within a single shift block.

Cons:

  • Coverage Density on Call-Outs: Because fewer total shifts are worked per week, any unscheduled absence requires off-duty personnel to cover a longer 12-hour block.

    Note: We will update this at the same time next week after having a full week's worth of logs to review.
