Cheating death and fighting communism: that is how a fellow officer once described our job. It was meant to be funny, but as time went on it seemed all too true.
I spent more than ten years in law enforcement, all of it on the street in uniform patrol. I've been a patrol officer, instructor, sergeant and lieutenant.
Do not report crimes here. Nothing here should be considered legal advice. All opinions are my own.
In a smaller department, only one officer may be assigned to a specific area. In that case, the back up officer will come from another area. In medium or larger agencies, there may be two or more officers assigned to a specific area. In that case the backup officer will probably come from inside that area.

You should call the recruiter at the agency you wish to work for and ask them.
Share Answer: 
It varies from department to department. One agency allowed for a 30 minute break, while another allowed for 45 minutes. Of course, you were still subject to calls during these breaks.
