Supplements for the body for shift work

This isn’t exactly police related but most of us work shifts and it takes its toll on our brain and body. I’ve been looking into why I have brain fog, lack of motivation, feel tired all the time etc etc and exploring different supplements and a lot of the ones reccomended are magnesium, b12, lions mane etc

Wondering if other officers on here have a supplement/vitamin routine, what do they take, what times of day etc? I work 2 days, 2 nights and 4 off.

Am I entitled to any compensation after shifts changed with short notice?

Was working a 4pm-2am shift this Sunday but just been informed the shift is changing to a 5pm-5am shift due to the England game. Are we entitled to anything? They are claiming the usual ‘exigent circumstances’ .

Power to seize vehicles involved in an RTC

It’s becoming more and more common in my force that officers are responding to an RTC and instead of recovering the vehicles just leaving them smashed up at the side of the road with some police tape on it.

When I was in tutorship I remember being given some directive by a traffic cop that we can’t do this as by leaving it with some police tape on is the police claiming responsibility for it and instead if we go to an RTC, and the owner isn’t getting it recovered themselves there and then, then we have the power to get the vehicle recovered.

What legislation would this be under so I can be confident with the law I use to call recovery? I’m fed up with seeing other cops just chuck some tape on a car and leave it there for weeks.
