Rotating shifts create constant schedule complexity.

Police departments run on rotating shift patterns — 8-hour, 10-hour, or 12-hour blocks, often with built-in Kelly Days, swing shifts, and rotating days off. Managing that complexity in a spreadsheet means frequent errors: double-booked officers, missed coverage windows, and commanders spending hours reconciling who's actually on duty.

ZoomShift's schedule templates let you build your standard rotation once and copy it forward. Changes layer on top without rebuilding from scratch.

Extra duty tracking lives outside your scheduling system.

Officers picking up extra duty assignments, traffic detail, event security, court appearances often get tracked separately from regular patrol shifts in a different spreadsheet or log. When extra duty hours aren't visible alongside regular hours, overtime creeps up before anyone catches it.

ZoomShift tracks all shift types in one view, so commanders see regular shifts and extra duty assignments together and can spot an officer approaching overtime before it happens.

Frequently Asked Questions

At its core, scheduling software like ZoomShift keeps your staff on the same page with its feature-rich web and mobile app. The schedule is online and easily viewed 24/7 by both your team and managers. It also makes it easy to communicate when shift cover requests go out or the schedule gets published since ZoomShift has text, email, and push notifications. That means fewer no-shows and fewer back-and-forth email and text chains to cover shifts.
The simplicity of ZoomShift is why people love it so much. Commanders enter all officers into the app alongside pertinent info like their job title, certifications, and wages. Once all your employees are entered into ZoomShift, you can begin shift planning by clicking Schedule in the navigation bar and slotting your employees for the shifts you need to be covered. Rinse and repeat as necessary and copy schedules daily, weekly, or even monthly to save time.

Yes. Kelly Days — built-in days off within a rotating shift cycle — are scheduled like any other day off. You build them into the rotation template, and they appear on each officer's schedule automatically when the template is copied forward.
Extra duty shifts can be created as a distinct shift type in ZoomShift, labeled separately from regular patrol. Both appear on the officer's schedule and count toward their total hours for the work period.
Each shift can be assigned to a specific position, unit, or zone. Commanders see the schedule organized by position, making it immediately visible if a zone is understaffed for a given shift block.
Yes. Officers submit time-off requests and shift swap requests directly from the mobile app. Commanders receive the request and approve or deny it in the app. If a swap is approved, the schedule updates automatically and both officers receive a confirmation. Nothing requires a call or a paper form.
Yes. ZoomShift is used by both municipal departments and county agencies. Multi-location support allows agencies with multiple precincts or substations to manage all locations from a single account, with individual location views for precinct commanders and a consolidated view for department administration.
