Abstract

IN ORDER TO IMPLEMENT A FOUR DAY WORK WEEK, THE POLICE DEPARTMENT AND OFFICER'S ASSOCIATION NEGOTIATED A NINE AND A HALF, RATHER THAN A TEN, HOUR WORK DAY. THE DEPARTMENT ALSO SURVEYED THE PATROL OFFICERS WHO WOULD BE AFFECTED BY THE CHANGE TO DETERMINE THEIR ATTITUDES TOWARD SUCH A PROGRAM. THE TORRANCE POLICE DEPARTMENT REPORTS SATISFACTION WITH ITS FOUR DAY WORK WEEK.
