If you are required to be on duty at all times,
and required to perform the functions of your job at all times, then you should be paid 24/7/365.
The dude at Mickey D's isn't required to make me a hamburger if I'm hungry. Cops should not be required to be cops when they're off the clock.
Working is a very, very simple business arrangement. I'm trading you my time for your money. If I ain't getting paid, you ain't getting any work.

Shannon has a good point, Brings a question to mind, Under what law or authority are you LEO required to be on-duty at all times ? is this some sort of
State law, or is it a
condition of employment ?
If it is a
Statutory requirement, please elaborate, if it is merely a
condition of employment then you are definitely
accepting a raw deal.
