No Surprises
In a perfect world, you would always have a unit available to answer a call for service; however, this is often not the case. Using traditional methods, it is takes many hours of detailed analysis to balance the number of patrol officers you have to meet your operational goals—and even then, it still isn’t perfect. Things like sick days, vacation, and holidays often get overlooked creating a strain on your schedule. Avoid scheduling surprises by relying on the foresight of Staff Wizard®.
Optimize Patrol Deployment
Staff Wizard is the ultimate tool to assist law enforcement agencies with their staffing/scheduling analysis and roster building. Corona Solutions created it to help “demand for service” agencies, such as Police, EMS, and Private Security, optimize their patrol deployment. By extracting data from your CAD system and using a proven mathematical model, the software analyzes your current workload and presents you the statistics needed to most effectively staff your resources. You can determine what operational goals you want to meet, such as reducing the response time and minimizing the probability of no units being available. Then it will tell you how many officers you need to meet those goals.
- Allow for consistent service levels across each jurisdiction - 24/7
- Evaluate multiple schedule plans before implementing them
- Add more officers to the road without adding staff
- Eliminate excess overtime
- Improve response time
- Forecast future staffing requirements
Predictability
Staff Wizard gives you flexibility. By performing “what-if” analysis on your base data, you can see what the effect of new annexations or developments will be and make changes accordingly. Once all of your analysis is completed, a complete set of printed reports is provided. These reports include an “Exception Report,” which finds inconsistencies in the data and brings them to your attention.
Now law enforcement professionals can go to planning and budget meetings with hard data instead of speculation.
