Some people gave negative comments for met job hours shifts , what do you think?

It’s the Police. You should expect not to have a life just like other EMS.

Some people are giving negative comments for met hours shifts ,what do you suggest ?

Not sure what you mean by this. Fire don't have bad shifts at all, and most of the time they're training. Paramedic shifts vary on the trust, but the critical factor in all this is that all emergency services other than the police have unions and are normal employees. Police don't. Police are Crown Servants, aren't subject to normal employment law and have very little in the way of employment or human rights. The only comparable career which has terms and conditions as bad as police is the Armed Forces.
Different departments within the Met have different shift patterns. Some people work office hours, detectives tend to work a mix of earlies and lates with a shift of nights every few months.
You might be referring to the ERPT shift pattern, which is where most police officers start. In the Met, it's not even that bad, and is generally considered one of the two "standard" shift patterns across the country. It's 6/4 of mostly 9 hour shifts- which is 2 earlies, 2 lates, 2 nights and then 4 days off. Of course you are finishing on a night, so you are actually spending half your first rest day sleeping. The other standard pattern is 4 on / 4 off 12 hour shifts. I think currently Bedfordshire do this one and you're either on days or nights, and you get the little changeover day in the middle.
I don't know anyone who doesn't like 4 on / 4 off, and personally I never had a problem with 6/4. Because you're only doing 2 of each shift as soon as you come off one, you're on the "last" of them and will get a longer break after.
