Case Study: Lansing Police Department achieves 75% faster scheduling and reliable staffing with ScheduleAnywhere

Lansing Police Department Cuts Scheduling Time with ScheduleAnywhere

The Lansing Police Department (Village of Lansing, Illinois), a 57‑officer force with civilian staff, crossing guards and cadets serving a community of over 27,000, struggled with manual scheduling: Excel spreadsheets and a paper master schedule that was often misplaced, time‑consuming manual updates, fragmented email/phone communications, and constant manual tracking to maintain minimum staffing levels.

By implementing ScheduleAnywhere, administrators now manage schedules remotely, accept cover/swap/time‑off requests online, send targeted messages, and see instant staffing calculations. The department reports about a 75% reduction in scheduling time, more reliable staffing coverage, and improved employee access to up‑to‑date schedules and requests.
