Aladtec's platform puts all schedule functions in an officer's hand.
"I think the program is easy to use. (Staff) can see what shifts they're on. If they're looking to request time off, it's really clear." -- Lt. Kelly Gady, Appleton (WI) Police Dept.
DULUTH, Minn. (PRWEB) April 12, 2018
Aladtec, the provider of online scheduling and workforce management platform to hundreds of law enforcement agencies, will attend the April exposition held together with the 2018 Minnesota Police Chiefs annual conference.
This year’s MPC Executive Training Institute theme is Creating Cultural Excellence. The professional development conference will be held April 22-24 at the Duluth Entertainment and Conference Center. The exposition is limited to Monday and Tuesday, April 23-24.
Headliners at the conference will discuss challenges of dealing with tragedies within and outside their departments and how they are working to build trust and community support in the wake of controversies.
Aladtec offers a cloud-based SaaS (Software as a Service) platform created specifically for Public Safety agencies. It’s accessible anytime via computer, smartphone or other mobile devices with internet connectivity.
Appleton (WI) Police Dept. has used Aladtec for scheduling and communications with its 111 sworn officers and 25 civilian staff members since April, 2016. Officers appreciate being able to view schedules, request time-off or a shift-swap via a smartphone in the palm of their hand.
"When people log-in from wherever, they can be at home. Sometimes officers might notice the schedule displays an extra person beyond minimum staffing and they want to take off. Our officers do a lot of trading," said Lt. Kelly Gady with Appleton PD. "I think the program is easy to use. Staff can see what shifts they're on. If they're looking to request time off, it's really clear."
Attendees can look for River Falls, Wisconsin-based Aladtec at Booth #703. Representatives Bo Manor and Anthony Jackson will be on-hand to answer any questions and demonstrate the software. Manor and Jackson will arrange for free 14-day, customized trials.
Aladtec’s platform handles complex scheduling and unique rotation requirements unique to law enforcement agencies. It allows members to submit availability, request time off, and make shift trades from anywhere. Developed in 2002, the system was initially used for crew scheduling but is now evolved to an all-in-one workforce management tool. It also features certification tracking, custom forms to which members can attach files, a document library, member discussion area, events calendar, custom reports, and optional Time Clock kiosk.
More than 2,000 organizations subscribe to Aladtec’s online platform with more than 125,000 people using the system daily across America and Canada.
Among teaching sessions for police leaders:
