Shift Bidding 1. Commencing October 1 of each calendar year, shift bids will be open for the following year. The selection of work shifts will be made by the seniority bid process. Those with the highest seniority will bid first among their job classification within the Patrol Division. Seniority will be based on hire date to, or promotion date of, your job classification. Positions include Patrol Officer and Patrol Sergeant. Shifts will be bid for an entire calendar year with markup changes on January 1, April 1, July 1, and October 1. Each Employee will be allotted a maximum of two (2) work days after notification to complete his/her bidding.
2. Shift selection shall be assigned through the seniority bidding process for all Guild members, excluding probationary officers. The Chief of Police shall have exclusive discretion to assign probationary officers to shifts based upon a need to further training, to evaluate and to meet departmental needs.

In the event non- probationary officer(s) bid upon shifts are changed, the shift re-bid process defined in Article 8 (D) shall apply. Upon completion of probation, an officer will then be included in the seniority bidding process based upon their original date of hire. (prior MOU draft)
