Need help or advice wtih scheduling

[cybercop]

Hey guys, I need help making a schedule for 24/7 coverage.


We are very short on staffing with a total of ~5 patrol openings that nobody is applying for.


Currently there is 1 Sgt. and 6 Deputies.


I have racked my brain trying to figure out a schedule that has coverage and days off. Sundays are the start of the week for us.


Any help would be appreciated.


Thanks in advance.

How many people are you required to have on at a time? How big is your coverage area?

2. coverage is 850 square miles, mostly rural farmland. low call volume.

12 hr shifts... Matrix... 2 days, 2 nights, 4 off... Or 4 days... 4 off... 4 nights... 4 off... This leaves 1 spot open, and can be filled with OT...


Good luck!
