Did you know?
Open patrol shifts can drive overtime fast
Short-staffed shifts and last-minute call-offs can leave patrol shifts open and push more hours onto the officers who are available. When schedules are hard to adjust, overtime triggered by coverage gaps can build before command staff has a clear view of the hours.
43% of officers in a national survey of more than 1,200 officers said they’re unable to take necessary breaks as understaffing stretches shifts thin

Our buyer’s guide breaks down the scheduling capabilities public safety agencies need, including law enforcement-specific guidance on patrol coverage, certifications, overtime, vendor evaluation, and choosing a solution that fits your operating model.
Patrol scheduling built around your rotation
Patrol coverage doesn’t follow a standard workday. Aladtec supports 24/7 law enforcement scheduling around your agency’s rotation and helps you respond when a callout, court appearance, training requirement, or other change creates a gap.
Match qualifications to every assignment
Not every officer can fill every role. Aladtec keeps rank, training, licenses, and certifications visible during scheduling, helping supervisors assign qualified personnel to specialized roles and reduce the risk of expired credentials affecting coverage.
Spend less time reworking police schedules
Manage overtime while keeping assignments fair
Overtime often builds before anyone notices, especially when callbacks, court appearances, and extra duty keep changing the plan. Aladtec shows scheduled hours and overtime while schedules are being built and helps supervisors apply agency rules consistently across the department.
What is police scheduling software?
Police scheduling software helps law enforcement agencies build patrol rotations run seniority-based shift bids, fill open shifts, manage court and extra duty assignments, track qualifications, and monitor overtime in one place. Whether a department is replacing spreadsheets or an older scheduling solution, law enforcement scheduling software gives supervisors clearer staffing visibility and gives officers mobile access to current schedules.
How does Aladtec help fill an open patrol shift when a shift falls below minimum staffing?
When a shift opens, Aladtec can notify available, qualified officers based on your agency’s rules. Officers can respond from the Aladtec mobile app, reducing manual calls and follow-up while helping supervisors fill open patrol shifts faster.
Can police department scheduling software track certifications and training?
Yes. Aladtec tracks licenses, certifications, and training records for officers and can alert supervisors before a credential expires. Agencies can configure how a lapsed qualification affects scheduling, including warnings or assignment restrictions based on their rules.
How does police scheduling software help manage overtime?
Aladtec shows scheduled hours while schedules are being built, helping supervisors see overtime exposure before publishing. Configurable rules support more consistent distribution of overtime, court time, and extra duty across the department.
Can Aladtec connect with payroll and HR software?
Yes. Aladtec can connect with payroll and HR software so schedule and shift data can move into existing processes with less manual re-entry and reconciliation.
Can Aladtec support multiple precincts or divisions?
Yes. Aladtec supports multi-unit and multi-location law enforcement agencies. Command staff can view staffing patterns, open shifts, and overtime across the department while individual units manage day-to-day scheduling.
