Staged releases
Open shifts by location and officer type on a set schedule, so the home team gets first look before it widens.
Overtime Board
Overtime, filled fairly. Forward is still forward.
A simple, open way for public safety agencies to post overtime, release it on a schedule everyone can see, and let officers sign up on their own.
What it is
Overtime sign-up that officers can trust.
Overtime Board replaces the group text and the quiet phone call. Supervisors post the shift once. The board decides who can see it and when, and the first eligible person to sign up gets it. Every step is on the record.
First come, first served
When a shift opens to you, you can claim it from your phone. No favorites and no guessing who got the call.
Email alerts
Officers hear when a shift opens to them, and they get a reminder before it starts.
Weekly hour caps
A weekly cap keeps overtime spread out and helps people stay rested. Your agency sets when its work week starts.
Supervisor controls
Supervisors manage the locations and/or shifts they are responsible for, and only a supervisor can remove a sign-up.
Audit trail and reports
Sign-ups and removals are logged, and a weekly report shows who worked what by location and officer type.
Doing more with fewer people
Most agencies are being asked to cover more ground with the staff they have. Overtime fills the gaps, and how it gets handed out matters. When the process is slow or unclear, the same few people carry the load, and the rest stop raising their hands.
Fairness builds trust
Officers notice who gets offered the extra shift. A process everyone can see, with the rules set ahead of time, takes the guesswork out of it. Trust inside an agency shows up on the street, too. People who feel treated fairly tend to treat others that way.
Technology that gives time back
Good tools should be quiet. A sergeant should not spend an hour on the phone filling a Saturday. An officer should not have to wonder whether a post was meant for them. If a tool saves that time, it can go back to the people we serve and to the people we lead.
Leaders who keep moving
Nobody has this fully figured out. The leaders worth following keep learning from the people closest to the work, and then they take the next step. Forward is still forward, even when the step is small.
