During which times are members not allowed to request a meal break?

The correct choice identifies specific time periods during which members are not permitted to request a meal break due to operational needs and resource availability. The designated hours of 0630-0930 and 1530-1830 are typically periods of high activity or presence on duty, which ensures that sufficient personnel are available for service demands.

In this context, requesting a meal break during these hours could negatively affect response times or result in gaps in coverage, which department policy aims to avoid. Therefore, members must adhere to these restrictions in order to maintain operational efficiency and public safety.

Other options do not align with the established operational guidelines for meal breaks within the police department, emphasizing the need for availability and responsiveness during critical times in a typical work shift.
