‘Production-line' style policing
So I currently work in a detective posting (keeping details intentionally vague for obvious reasons, but it's nothing too 'gucci' like MIT)
Our unit is facing proposals for a restructure that will change our current working model. The concept is pretty simple: instead of the traditional shift pattern (Shift 1, Shift 2, Shift 3, etc.), The SLT plans to divide us into functional silos an Arrest Team, a Prisoner Processing Team, and a Case Team.
Has anyone else experienced this 'production-line' style of policing? If so, can you provide any insight into whether it actually works for you, and why?
Personally, I’m concerned this will lead to massive deskilling and that my PIP-2 training will just slowly degrade. (For what it's worth, I’ve already fed these concerns back through the proper official channels, I'm just looking for some perspectives from officers!)
