New Enhancements to Vector’s Law Enforcement Scheduling Software

In law enforcement, officers must be ready to face the unknown every single shift. To maintain public safety and ensure effective response to whatever the day may bring, agencies need shift scheduling to function as a well-oiled machine. Staffing workflows must be free of errors, efficient, and adaptable to any change, big or small.

To support this critical need, Vector Solutions is making ongoing, major investments in our law enforcement scheduling software: Vector Scheduling. These user-informed, strategic enhancements will help agencies more efficiently manage shift scheduling, keep officers in the know, and equip supervisors with tools that help them respond to any situation they may face.

Find out how these enhancements—an all-new Deployment feature, intelligent Hourly Minimum Staffing functionality, and streamlined Shift Bidding capabilities—will impact Vector’s law enforcement partners.

Deployment Feature: Accelerating Team Mobilization – Available Now!

The new Deployment feature offers a smarter, more efficient way to manage assignments.

With a focus on simplifying complex shift scheduling, this new tool helps law enforcement agencies better manage everything from critical incidents to everyday assignments like training and community outreach events.

• Better manage shifts with customizable types per deployment.
• Ensure the right team is assigned by automatically matching employees to qualifications.
• Quickly edit and adjust assignments.
• Easily identify vacancies to backfill for seamless coverage while personnel are deployed.

Hourly Minimum Staffing: Meeting Dynamic Operational Demands – Available Now!

Your staffing needs can fluctuate throughout the day based on peak call volume, shift changes, and other operational demands.

New Hourly Minimum Staffing functionality enables your department to set hour-by-hour staffing requirements, adjusting open positions dynamically to ensure compliance in real time.

• Configure staffing needs throughout the day to reflect real-world demands, such as requiring specific roles like detective or sergeant.
• Set rules to aggregate coverage across shifts in support of shared minimum staffing, helping your agency avoid under- and overstaffing.
• Adjust staffing plans to align with actual service demands, reducing inefficiencies while supporting operational readiness.

Shift Bidding: Streamlining Scheduling Transparency – Coming Soon!

By adding intelligent Shift Bidding capabilities, Vector Scheduling transforms how law enforcement agencies manage bids at scale and optimizes recurring schedules.

• Through an automated bidding process, personnel can select shifts based on predefined rules, while administrators retain control and visibility over the process.
• Enable separate bid groups by role to ensure qualified coverage while honoring seniority.
• Leverage flexible recurring patterns to more easily manage long-term schedules.
• Get real-time oversight with automatically updated shift assignments on the scheduler.
