for their employees?
Where you had to be at roll call 30 minutes before the time your shift actually started. In spite of not being on the clock, you could still be written up for being late?
Or they were constantly short-handed on personnel so you were often called in 4 hours early or asked to stay 4 hours late to work a 12 hour shift? Or you were called in on your day off to work a shift because someone called in sick? Or you had court on your day off and only got paid 2 hours for "court" when they often didn't even make it through the 6:30 pm docket until 8:30....and they still had the 7:30 & 8:30 dockets to call and your case was on the 8:30 docket
Or that evening shift was so busy running from call to call your only chance to write reports was when you came off the street at 2300 so you could spend the next 4 hours on paperwork (but the dept didn't pay for report writing).
Or you arrested someone and transported them per policy and got beefed because the person requested to be handcuffed with their hands in front of them, in spite of it being against policy to do so. But you still got written up for judgment because "a policy is just a guideline". That one pizzed off a co-worker who was also the training officer so much a copy of the instructor's master key for the test on handcuffing ended up in my inbox with the policy highlighted specifically saying a prisoner was never to be handcuffed in front--no exceptions".
