Partnering. Planning. Protecting.
Serving large and small agencies across the US — from rural townships to urban cities.
In public safety, there are never enough resources — time, money, people. Too often, agencies are asked to do more while being given less. For more than 40 years, SafeCities™ has been fueled by a team of individuals who share a passion to improve the lives of first responders. We know the job is hard. And ill-fitted tools shouldn’t make it harder. That’s why we created Schedule Express. But we also know you can’t take our word for it. So here are just a few success stories from the people who know us best: Our clients.

White Papers
The True Cost of Free
One of the greatest opportunities to make the most significant impact in public safety operations lies with tools and procedures that are perceived to be free, but are often the most expensive of all. The data presented in this white paper comes from public safety agencies across the country who reported their results after transitioning to Schedule Express from their previous manual solutions.
The Impact of Automated Scheduling
In all five agencies, the implementation of Schedule Express yielded an average time savings of 87% based on annual hours, and an average financial savings of 70.2% based on annual cost of labor. This condensed white paper highlights how the recovery of these costs, and the subsequent recovery of hours, represented the greatest opportunity to add to agency resources and effectively gain additional budget and employee headcount by making only a few high-impact adjustments.
