1. Empower officers to earn extra income
By adopting an off-duty management platform, you guarantee that job opportunities are distributed fairly among personnel seeking additional income. The best software solutions enable fast, reliable payments through payroll or direct deposit, rather than relying on cash.
Using a platform built on industry best practices also removes the risk of favoritism or imbalance that can arise when off-duty assignments are given based on personal connections instead of objective and fair criteria.
2. Maintain oversight while being cost-effective
For routine tasks such as handling overtime and off-duty assignments, automated software is the most efficient choice. It cuts down on paperwork, ensures fair job allocation, and upholds agency rules. This not only saves coordinators time but also connects with current systems to remove the need for manual entry.
Off-duty management software monitors officer availability, completed assignments, and open shifts—essential tools for running effective secondary employment programs that address vendor security requirements. A system that stays current with regular updates allows agencies to adjust to new policies and evolving needs.
3. Reduce financial and liability risks
Managing an agency effectively while staying compliant with government regulations and accreditation standards is no easy task. Extra-duty software addresses financial and liability concerns by offering strong reporting, fair job assignment, and consistent policy enforcement. It logs duty hours, transactions, and any policy deviations to maintain compliance.
Our solution streamlines your data and minimizes risk with customizable reports. These reports track staff assignments, hours worked, payments, attendance, and other critical elements of secondary employment oversight.
4. Demonstrate trust and respect for personnel
Law enforcement officers have every reason to take pride in their work. At its core, law enforcement plays a vital role in maintaining safe, thriving communities.

We were using a paper system to post details before PowerDetails. Now...jobs [are] easier to post, easier to track, run reports, and bill jobs to employers by creating invoices. You can also create rules for each detail which limits how many jobs a person can sign-up for at one time.
