Garda Shifts

BravoTango

Hi all,

I am just wondering what are the current Garda Shifts, I know its three shifts 06.00-14.00, 14.00-22.00 and 22.00-06.00 I think,

I would like to know what the shift pattern is?

Does it have a routine as in 4 days on 2 days off or something?

Thanks

There are a lot of different rosters out there, but they are all based around either a city roster, where you work seven nights in a row, or a country roster, where you work 2 nights one week, 3 nights the next week and another 2 nights the following week. My roster is the Wicklow/Wexford roster which is as follows:

Day M T W T F S S
WK1 R R L L E L E/L
WK2 E E R N N N N
WK3 N N N R R R R
WK4 L L E E L E R

There is other rosters then aswell for non 24 hour stations, you could have a late on one week end every month for example. But itll be a while of propers rosters before getting a non 24hour station!

Jesus, they are rough rosters. 7 days on the trot? heavy going? With overtime and court appearances you must be pretty tied up.
