Q

An officer is normally assigned 0800 shift for the month but swaps a shift and works 1430 shift for a day. The officer then projects vacation days off the 415 used the day he worked the 1430 shift. Is this ok?

No. The officer would get shift differential compensation for those vacation days. He’s not entitled to that because his normal shift time is 0800.
