What is the program?
NIJ is soliciting research to examine the influence of shift schedules and shift assignment policies on the safety, health, and performance of police officers in the United States.

Shift work, overtime, and night work are required in policing as in many other occupations. Research with various occupations demonstrates that if work schedules, work hours, and stress are not managed properly, shift work may result in insufficient sleep, decrements in alertness, and fatigue. In turn, increased fatigue and stress may increase performance errors, accidents and injuries, and health problems. However, little research has been conducted on the effects of shift schedules on police officers, or the management of shift schedules in police agencies.

NIJ is soliciting research to examine the influence of shift schedules and shift assignment policies on the safety, health, and performance of police officers in the United States. By informing police administrators about the relative risks and benefits of different shift schedules and shift assignment policies, this research will improve their ability to manage shift work and reduce the negative consequences of fatigue and stress on police officers and their families.
