Do rookie patrol officers always get the midnight shifts? I did do a ride along back in 2017. It was on a Friday during the day. The office I rode with had recently been been "cut loose", as he put it, by his FTO and said he was working mostly days but wanted to be working nights because that's when you're more likely to stop drunk driving, etc. Reading the comments here, it would seem like his schedule given his tenure was an anomaly.
