Case Study: Denton Police Department achieves anytime, anywhere access to real-time staff schedules with ScheduleAnywhere

Denton Police Officers Gain Anytime, Anywhere Access to Staff Schedules with ScheduleAnywhere

Denton Police Department, a full-service agency in Denton, Maryland with Administrative, Patrol and Criminal Investigations divisions plus K-9 and Special Response teams, was relying on Visual Staff Scheduler Pro but couldn’t provide real-time schedule information to officers in the field. Frequent schedule updates and no easy way to notify personnel meant officers often had outdated information, causing improper staffing and time-consuming manual communications.

The department implemented Atlas’ cloud-based ScheduleAnywhere (with their schedules imported at no cost), giving everyone up-to-the-minute access via web and a free mobile app; affected employees receive automatic notifications and can submit cover, swap, and time-off requests online. Supervisors can message individuals or groups to fill shifts, cutting the time to make and notify schedule changes from about 30 minutes to just a couple of minutes and improving overall staffing reliability.
