Tomah Police Department Uses Officer Scheduling Software to Increase Efficiency

Tomah Police Department chooses ScheduleAnywhere to manage their patrol staff

Fargo, ND - February 9, 2016 - Atlas Business Solutions, Inc. announced today that Tomah Police Department Wisconsin has made the switch to a new officer scheduling software, ScheduleAnywhere, to manage their officers and patrol staff. The implementation process of this new software started in the fall of 2015. The department transitioned away from a complicated scheduling software system that made changes and updates to the schedule burdensome and difficult.

The past scheduling software used by Tomah Police Department would only allow the schedule-maker to print the schedule. If adjustments were needed for vacation, comp time, sick leave or shift coverage, the team would have to manually pencil them in on the hard copy schedule left in the office. If the schedule went missing, which it often would, time was wasted looking for it.

ScheduleAnywhere was the superior choice for the police department's needs. Making any shift coverage or scheduling modifications became as easy as a simple click. Because everything is online, the officers are able to view their schedule from almost any device with an Internet connection. Since implementation, the officers have enjoyed having around-the-clock access to their schedule. They no longer need to call into work with scheduling questions. "I am particularly impressed with the ability to apply unique notes to each shift that allows for clear descriptions of specialized activities," Lieutenant Scott Holum said.
