Looking for scheluling software

[ronnieb]

I have usually just used Excel for creating schedules but I am going to be tackling a headache that smacks of the need for software that can tell me when I've inserted an officer to many times.

I am looking at something that can help configure schedules based on a mix of 12hr and 8 hr shifts and might help with rotating officers during their shifts to alleviate stressful duty requirements (think health care environment).

Any help would be appreciated.

Do you have a contact at your local Police? Ask what they use.

Most scheduling software costs some bucks - $600 to $1000 and more. Even specialized Excel spreadsheets that people have designed for scheduling run up to $200. By way of commercial products, here's one that's very good:
