For regional and municipal officers

Regional and municipal services police the great majority of Canadians, and they carry the busiest paid duty market in the country. Here is how BlueShifts fits that week.

The rotation

Platoon rotations in the larger services are usually twelve hours on a compressed cycle, with the pattern fixed by the collective agreement and the platoon fixed for a year at a time.

Save it once and the year is on the calendar, which is what you need when the paid duty offers start arriving and you have to know which ones you can actually take.

Paid duty

Construction, events, film work, licensed premises — in a busy service the offers come faster than anyone can keep track of by memory. Each one goes in under the organiser who arranged it, with the rate, the hours and whether it has been paid.

Then you can see the year: which organiser you get the most work through, which pays best, and what is still owed to you.

Court and training

Both land inside a rotation you did not choose. Both sit in their own categories, with alerts far enough ahead to arrange the rest of the day around them.

The addresses you need on the road

Courthouses, hospitals with their door codes, gate codes, tow companies. Saved once, there whether or not you have a signal, and sendable to a new member in one text message.
