I heard them mention something about going back to the station for "crib" since they haven't had it yet. I'm guessing this is a lunch break?

So WAPOL work 8 hour days? Do they work the standard 5 on, 2 off like most other jobs?

Ya I'm familiar with the being lucky to get your full lunch break. I don't know how many times I was just about to get my chow and we got a call on the radio to respond to some incident. Was also on a ride along in the states and we had to scarf our food down as we ran out to the vehicle for a burg call.
