I really doubt that one officer slot works any differently than any other. Others have posted what you stated saying that the first Deck Watch slot was the 'critical' one. Nothing I've seen tells me one is any better, or worse, than another.

Next time I'm on patrol I'll try some experimenting to see what I can learn. When I was playing around with this stuff I had it pretty well figured out, but I didn't bother to write anything down, and I can't remember the messy details.
