The Saline Police Department will transition from 8-hour shifts to 12-hour shifts to allow more time off for officers and the promotion of two officers to supervisor positions, according to the Saline Reporter.

Chief Larry Hrinik told the Saline Reporter the new plan will allow officers to build up 91 hours of additional non-comp time off and will allow more flexibility in how days off are scheduled.

Advocates said the new scheduling plan is cost-neutral and will boost morale.
