Letter: Police have enough time to rest

The harsh reality is, if I'm not mistaken, under current arrangements, a week comprises 168 hours.

If I'm not mistaken, under current arrangements, Trinbago's police officers are on duty required to be on duty for 40 hours per week.

If I'm not mistaken, under current arrangements, Trinbago police officers therefore enjoy 128 hours of free time per week.

If I'm not mistaken, under current arrangements, 128/168 equals 76%.

If I'm not mistaken, under current arrangements, any worker who is off-duty 76% of the time has more than enough time to "rest and reflect".

If I'm not mistaken, under current arrangements, those of such workers who feel an additional 24 hours must be taken to "rest and reflect" and that nobody could do them anything if they do, ought to be given a test, for such a feeling reflects how sadly mistaken about current arrangements they are.

We, the people, rest!
