It's about the same.
Cops work 4 days on/off 10-12 shifts
In one month they get about 16-19 shifts (using 31 days calender)
We get 7 days on/off.
Works out to be around 14-17 (again using the 31 day calender). We work a longer period of time but also get a longer period of break. You can also come in on your days off and bank on some overtime.
A good thing about this job is the rotation. It's very stable. Your off one week and your on the next week. It's also the same shift pattern. You don't do 3 overnights and 4 days. You do 7 days same shift work.
