Operational control

Built around how details actually get staffed.

Configurable request intake

Give businesses a structured way to request details, including agency-specific questions, dates, locations, staffing needs, and price estimates.

Qualification-aware staffing

Match each post with officers who hold the required skills, equipment, and current credentials.

Internal and outside rosters

Offer work internally first, release it to verified outside officers, or direct-assign when the situation calls for it.

A schedule officers can act on

Officers see eligible work, accept openings, review calendar details, and record check-in, check-out, and final hours.

Off-duty time should not live in a silo.

Use Cadence APIs to export approved off-duty time and ingest on-duty shifts or leave records for a more complete view of officer availability.
