What is the maximum combined service hours allowed for a PSO on multiple contracts?

The maximum combined service hours allowed for a Protective Security Officer (PSO) on multiple contracts is established to ensure the safety and well-being of both the officers and the public they serve. Allowing a PSO to work up to 12 hours on multiple contracts takes into account the demanding nature of the job and helps prevent fatigue, which can compromise performance and increase the risk of errors or incidents.

This cap aligns with industry standards and best practices for working hours to maintain optimal readiness and alertness in security operations. Additionally, it ensures that officers have adequate time for rest and recuperation between shifts, ultimately enhancing the effectiveness and reliability of security services.

While other options suggest shorter hours, they do not provide a balance that aligns with operational needs and the health and safety of the officers.
