When it comes to handling off-duty work, many police departments are quick to pass the baton to third-party firms. The appeal is clear: no hassle, no stress, and everything seems to be taken care of. But here’s the kicker — this convenience comes at a hefty price, and not just in dollars. Let’s peel back the layers on why keeping things in-house, especially with a tool like Caleo, isn’t just easy; it’s smart and financially savvy.
The Costly Convenience of Third-Party Management
It’s easy to fall into the convenience trap. Third-party companies promise to take the load off by managing off-duty details, from scheduling to billing. But remember, they're not doing it for free. Their "admin fees" might seem small at first, but over time, they eat into potential revenue that could've bolstered your department's resources.
What You're Really Paying For
Let's talk numbers. Every time a third-party company takes a slice of the pie for managing off-duty gigs, that's less money for your department's training, equipment, and officer wellness programs. It adds up faster than you'd think, turning into a substantial revenue stream you’re missing out on.
Introducing Caleo: The Game-Changer for Off-Duty Management
Now, I hear you. The thought of managing off-duty work internally sounds like a logistical nightmare, especially for smaller departments. But what if there was a tool so easy to use, so intuitive, that any department, regardless of size, could handle it effortlessly? Enter Caleo.
