The Dallas Police Department (DPD) today announced its
partnership with RollKall, a leading provider of extra-duty
management software solutions.
Use of RollKall will help to streamline and automate the
Department’s off-duty job program, benefiting both law enforcement
and the businesses and entities that hire Dallas Police employees
for off-duty details.
The implementation of RollKall will provide a platform for
officers, DPD professional staff, coordinators, and the public to
request and coordinate off-duty jobs. Once implemented, all
off-duty jobs will be scheduled through RollKall.
Chief Eddie Garcia of the Dallas Police Department and current
President of the Major Cities Chiefs Association, said, "The safety
and well-being of our employees and the community we serve are
paramount. Partnering with RollKall allows us to achieve greater
oversight, transparency, and compliance in our off-duty program,
ultimately helping to improve public safety and coverage across the
city."
The key benefits for Dallas PD and the City of Dallas will
realize with the RollKall platform include:
- An easy-to-use platform to schedule, post, view and
apply for off-duty jobs in one location.
- A public-facing process for businesses to request
officers and professional staff.
- A platform that can be accessed through a computer or
smartphone.
- Improved officer safety: By gaining deeper insights into
officer schedules and workload, DPD can work to further ensure
officers are not overworked - crucial to their effectiveness in
serving and protecting the community.
- Enhanced accountability: RollKall's software will
empower the DPD and the City of Dallas with a comprehensive view of
their extra-duty program. This level of transparency will enable
better decision-making, resource allocation, and program
optimization.
- Online payments for expense reimbursement: The RollKall
solution offers convenient, online payments processing that makes
it easier for the City of Dallas to collect payments for the use of
department equipment used for special events and extra job
details.
- Policy compliance: RollKall includes policy enforcement
features that will aid in ensuring that all extra-duty assignments
adhere to departmental policies and regulations, thereby increasing
compliance and accountability.
- No taxpayer burden: It is important to note that the
cost of implementing RollKall's software will not be borne by
taxpayers. Additionally, there will be no added charges for
Enhanced Neighborhood Patrols (ENP), Homeowner Associations (HOA),
or Non-Profit organizations who hire additional officer
patrols.
- The platform will allow ENPs, HOAs, and non-profit
organizations who have established relationships with officers to
continue those working relationships.
RollKall Founder, Chris White, shared his thoughts, stating, "We
founded RollKall with the mission of simplifying and optimizing
extra-duty work for law enforcement agencies and the businesses
that rely on their services. RollKall is designed to provide
improved visibility, streamlined processes, and reduced
administrative burdens. We are proud to partner with the Dallas
Police Department and look forward to supporting their extra-duty
program."
RollKall CEO Brad Duea added, "Our collaboration with the Dallas
Police Department underscores our commitment to providing
innovative solutions that benefit both law enforcement and the
businesses they serve. We are excited to support Dallas in their
mission to deliver a best-in-class extra-duty program."
Beyond enhancing coordination, support, and community
engagement, this partnership will streamline the off-duty
management process, setting new standards for compliance,
efficiency, and effectiveness.
DPD remains committed to the safety of our city while officers
are on duty, and now, to improving the off-duty jobs program, that
not only benefits our employees, but supports the needs of the
entire Dallas community.
The Department is working with RollKall on the roll out of the
platform, and will be providing outreach, education and training to
vendors, businesses and DPD employees on how to use the
platform.
