Police Time Tracking

The Requirements

We developed a system for a medium-sized Ohio city that tracks the time of its uniformed police officers. Before implementing this system, time tracking for the police officers was very paper intensive. Fixing errors was taking too much time.

The system needed to implement complex rules for shift differential, vacations, holiday, injury on duty, etc.
Data entry needed to be quick and intuitive so that shift commanders would spend the least possible time entering information.

The Solution

MindCrafted Systems developed the application and it has been running for over a decade.

Technology, Tools and Innovations

System Architect for the analysis and design for the database and objects.
Microsoft Access for the user interface and underlying database.

Audit Ability
	Ease of Use
This system needed to provide a human interface that proved easier than writing information down on paper.
This system was used to track the whereabouts of officers over long periods of time for legal purposes.
