Vacation Book — Flagship
Real-Time Staffing Intelligence for Modern Policing. From Leave Requests to Staffing Readiness. All in one system.
Overview
The Vacation Book ecosystem gives command one place to manage day‑to‑day staffing with policy guardrails and full accountability. Deploy one module to solve an immediate need—or roll out the full suite for a seamless workflow across scheduling, extra duty, towing, bidding, and forecasting.
What’s included
- Scheduling & Calendar (vacation/sick/comp with approvals)
- Extra Duty (payjobs) intake, vetting, fair assignment, audit
- Tow Logs with search, custody history, exports
- Vacation Bidding (seniority/lottery windows, policy caps)
- Roster Management (units/squads/shifts, least‑privilege access)
- Staffing Predictor (AI) to flag low‑staff windows early
Why the suite works best
- One roster & policy engine across all modules
- Unified calendar & audit log for every action
- Consistent notifications & permissions (role‑based)
- Shared reporting—see the whole staffing picture
Start small and expand: each module works independently, but together they reduce manual work, surface staffing risk sooner, and give leadership a single source of truth.

How Scheduling works
Request → Review → Calendar → Audit — policy‑aligned and built for command efficiency.
Officer submits
Sick / vacation / comp requests include required notes and automatic policy checks (caps, blackout dates, unit limits).
Supervisor approval
Queue shows staffing impact by squad/shift/unit before approving; conflicts and policy violations are flagged.
Coverage view
Approved leave lands on the schedule automatically; filters for unit, squad, shift, and assignment keep command visibility clear.
Accountability
Every change is logged (who/what/when). Export clean reports for records requests, reviews, and policy audits.
How Vacation Bidding works
Your policy → configured windows → fair resolution → calendar & audit.
Policy & parameters
You provide the logic—seniority or lottery, windows, caps, blackout dates, unit rules. We implement it in the Vacation Book.
Open bidding rounds
Bidding windows and officer order follow your policy (e.g., seniority by unit/squad). System enforces caps automatically.
User-by-user selection
Officers pick dates in their turn; conflicts are resolved per policy and conflicting slots are closed to others in real time.
Place & lock
Approved bids place automatically on the calendar; conflicting requests are closed out. Full audit trail supports reviews and records.
How Staffing Predictor works
Generative AI highlights upcoming low‑staff windows so command can act early — powered by historical leave, weekday/time patterns, weather, and local events.
Signals ingested
Historical leave, squad/shift rosters, weekday/time seasonality, weather, and scheduled events feed the model. Data is scoped to your agency.
Risk scoring
The model produces a daily/shift risk score and confidence range for under‑staffing. View by unit, squad, or shift.
What‑if adjustments
Supervisors adjust assumptions (OT, training days, event overlays) to see impact. Suggested coverage prompts appear for high‑risk windows.
Proactive coverage
Request additional officers or shift swaps ahead of time. Changes reflect on the schedule; outcomes feed back to improve future predictions.
How Extra Duty works
From public intake to assignment to audit—transparent and fair.
Request received
Job details captured with required fields and contact info.
Supervisor review
Policy checks, conflicts, and approval with assignment slots.
Fair assignment
Transparent logic with notifications to selected officers.
Audit & export
Time, approvals, and payments tracked; export for billing.
How Anonymous Tips works
Secure intake, supervisor triage, and follow‑through—closing the loop.
Tip received
Anonymous or contact‑provided; attachments allowed.
Supervisor triage
Categorize, assign, and set follow‑up tasks with due dates.
Follow‑through
Tasks tracked; status updates keep leadership in the loop.
Audit & closure
Every action logged; exportable report for records and community updates.
How Tow Logs works
Chain‑of‑custody style logging with search and export.
Tow created
Required fields ensure complete, consistent records.
Chain of custody
Movements and access logged; who/what/when captured.
Find & verify
Search by plate, case, location; filter and verify status.
Records ready
Clean export for records requests and audits.
