What is the maximum number of meal breaks allowed during a single tour of duty?

The maximum number of meal breaks allowed during a single tour of duty is one. This policy is designed to ensure that personnel remain focused and available for their duties while still receiving adequate time to rest and recharge during their shift. Limiting meal breaks to one helps maintain operational efficiency and ensures that resources are not stretched too thin. Having just one break allows officers to effectively manage their time and responsibilities while still attending to their personal needs during a tour of duty.

This structured approach also helps standardize procedures across the board, making it easier to plan and coordinate activities and responses within the department. By keeping the number of meal breaks to a minimum, it reinforces the importance of continuous availability and quick response in the line of duty.
