Wicomico County Sheriff's Office Adds New Deputy Scheduling App
Maryland sheriff's office implements ScheduleAnywhere to streamline deputy scheduling
Fargo, N.D. (January 23, 2018) - Atlas Business Solutions, Inc. announced today that Wicomico County Sheriff's Office of Salisbury, MD has implemented ScheduleAnywhere as their staff scheduling solution.
With Sheriff's Office Deputies working shifts around the clock, having real-time access to the current shift schedule can be a big time saver. Prior to adding the ScheduleAnywhere deputy scheduling app, the schedule was saved as an Excel file on a server in the Sheriff's Office. This posed problems whenever there were changes in the schedule as deputies needed to be in the office to see the schedule, call in to check for changes, or carry a dated printed copy with them.
There were other challenges with the old method as well, according to 1st Sergeant John Alessandrini of the Field Operations Bureau.
"If a deputy had the calendar file open, I would be locked out and unable to make changes until they closed it. It was difficult to copy out shifts and rotations, meaning I was building a completely new schedule every 28 days. And with a single master file, the schedule could not be easily shared outside of the system. With so many limitations, making any personnel changes was very difficult."
By switching to ScheduleAnywhere, scheduling is now faster and easier with easy access for all deputies.
"ScheduleAnywhere has made my job of scheduling less time consuming. Schedule changes are easy to make, and with the mobile app, deputies can view the schedule or make time off requests from anywhere. It is a good value and fit for our agency," says Alessandrini.
