Sorta around sometimes for some of your shitty mod needs.
I’m more concerned on the poly. And I’m not Le. Wtf
Sort of an offbeat line of questioning...

Sadly, my former agency is suffering from self-inflicted wounds fired by the chief of police. The agency is strongly supported by the mayor, council, and seemingly the citizens, but the chief's left-wing thinking and draconian policies make the place a hellhole for those there. The plan for retaining officers is to start internal investigations on those believed to be looking elsewhere. Shifts are running short and there is allegedly thought on reimplementing the much-hated twelve hour shift plan to maintain staffing.
I wonder if the masturbation at work issue comes from literal interpretation of concerns about sexual relationships in the workplace.
On a somewhat lighter note, I will remark on the culture shock moving to a retirement job at a campus public safety department. A supervisor told me about his investigation of a report that a library aide had sexual congress with some hot exchange student in a back room at the library. (If it was consensual, this is our concern rather than his boss's, why?)After two officers had gotten a "confession" from hot exchange students on the details of the encounter, the sergeant broke the case by recovering physical evidence of safe sex from a waste basket in said back room.
Two thoughts come to mind, one being that I've done some dirty, disgusting things to recover evidence in my career and I will again if needed. That said, if anyone thinks I'm dumpster diving to recover physical evidence of two college students banging, they've got another think coming. Second, if I'd hooked up with some hot exchange student in a back room when I was a college library aideforty some years ago, I'd still be bragging about it.
Bureaucracy is a killer.
But at least no one is responsible for all the failures...
Are you loyal to the constitution or the “institution”?
Some of these problems are a generational issue.
A buddy who is a retired firefighter says his department had less than ten applicants for the last test. That can't be a good sign.
We're dealing with a generation that has been watching porn on their phones since they were kids, and now you want them to go eight hours without masturbating?

There's no shortage of college graduates that are willing to work nights/weekends if it offers what they're looking for in return.
Working Monday through Friday, then having to work Saturday and Sunday too on top of that, isn't going to cut it.
In the past, people generally liked working weekend jobs because it typically meant shiftwork where you'd likely only be working 3-4 days a week total.....so you got something meaningful in return (more time off). When PDs are understaffed and the only people left working at PDs are miserable self-loathing individuals who self-medicate and are on their 4th marriage and respond to any/all problems with, "You're just a bunch of pussy zoomers", well......no shit when you don't get any qualified applicants.
This isn't a generational issue. That's an excuse for people stuck in a rut at a shit job to make themselves feel better about their own circumstances.

In the past, people worked the schedule because it was the schedule. They we started hiring guys that didn't like that they got less vacation than people with more seniority, so they used sick time as extra days off. It's definitely generational in that my generation expected to work our way up to better shift choices, days off etc, and these guys thought they should have it all on day 1.
And cops jerking off at work seems to be a product of the smartphone/internet porn generations.
And FWIW, I'm not stuck in anything, anymore, ya millennial bastid.

That number is incorrect. Remember, the Chicago Tribune or as we call it, The Chicago Fibune, is the propaganda arm of the Democratic Party in Chicago hence the incorrect number. They will say anything or print anything to minimize the damage the mutant on the 5th floor is doing to the City. The correct number is 904. We expect to have at least that number if not more leave this year. They gave an entrance test few weeks ago. Or tried to. 16 people showed up for the test.
Management with your outlook/mindset have clearly addressed this issue in an effective manner, given all the good applicants and officers haven't said, "Fuck this shit, I'm out" and gone elsewhere with better opportunities.
