Police Departments Select Employee Scheduling Software to Increase Efficiency

ScheduleAnywhere makes employee scheduling easier for law enforcement agencies

FARGO, ND - March 15, 2013 - Atlas Business Solutions, Inc. (ABS) announced today that Smithville Police Department of Smithville, Missouri and Lower Providence Township Police of Eagleville, Pennsylvania have selected ScheduleAnywhere as their online officer scheduling software. Scheduling software from ABS is used by over 2,000 law enforcements departments to make sure officers are scheduled at the right time and place and to streamline work schedule communication. ScheduleAnywhere is used by both small and large public safety agencies.

"ScheduleAnywhere provides our police department tremendous flexibility and visibility," says Chief Jason Lockridge, Smithville Police Department. "Our employees can access schedules from anywhere, even their phones. They can request days off and be up-to-date at all times. Our supervisors can change schedules quickly and easily, keeping their employees current, even on their days off. It's simple to set up, easy to use, and all of our employees quickly mastered it. I can check in from home, or anywhere else, and see a current schedule. We would definitely recommend ScheduleAnywhere to other agencies looking for a scheduling solution. I wish we would have switched a couple of years ago."

According to Lt. Stan Turtle, Lower Providence Township Police, "Having used a typewriter and then Excel spreadsheets for scheduling, we were looking for an easy to use and cost effective upgrade. ScheduleAnywhere has met both needs and has drastically reduced the time we spend creating and managing the schedule, while allowing easy remote access for all of our employees."
