Incidents during Extra-Duty shifts create the need for historical records.

PowerDetails helps your agency ensure that all jobs, hours, and payments are accurately stored for reports and analysis.
Is your agency equipped to report these details?
Agencies must be able to locate and report the following information:
Location: ABC Movie Theater
Dates & Times: 12/22/2019
Personnel Name(s): Michael Benson
Pay Rates: $43.00 per hour
Hours Worked: 6 hours
How many hours/jobs have each of your officers worked this week/month/year?
How much revenue has each of your officers earned through secondary employment?
Are officers exceeding the number of hours they are allowed to work within a given timeframe?
PowerDetails provides agencies with critical tools needed to:
Improve officer wellness and support mental health
Maintain oversight of officers and mitigate the risk of officer fatigue
Ensure accountability through accurate reports and data analysis

The Benefits of Removing CASH from the equation
Officers love to receive cash payments for their off-duty details because it is convenient and immediate reimbursement for their services.
However, this practice creates numerous opportunities for reporting errors.
The benefits of switching to electronic payments include:
- Accurate reporting of hours worked — reducing the risk of officer fatigue
- Assurance that appropriate fees are collected — avoiding overpayment/underpayment of your officers
- Improved accountability — unlike cash, electronic payments are trackable, which simplifies your accounting and reporting processes
Secondary Employment revenue in perspective:
Let’s do the math!
A Law Enforcement Agency has 100 Officers.
The average officer works 170 off-duty/overtime hours each year.
The average job pays $40/hour.
170 x $40 = $6,800 an Officer
$6,800 x 100 officers = $680,000 in Annual Revenue!
