This outlines the development of a Bandobast App (or Arrangement App) designed specifically for police departments to efficiently manage security arrangements during public events, high-profile visits, or any situation requiring deployment of police personnel across various locations. The app will streamline the process of event management, personnel assignment, attendance tracking, and reporting.

Objectives

  • Allow the police department to quickly set up and manage events.

  • Enable administrators to assign police officers to specific locations and under hierarchical supervision.

  •  Ensure personnel are present at their assigned locations, capturing geo-tagged attendance and checklist completion.

  • Provide supervisors with tools to oversee their teams, ensure compliance, and track event activities.

Generate reports on personnel attendance, event coverage, and performance for future planning.

Key Features

  • Admin users can create new events in the system.
  • Each event will have specific details, including:
    1. Event name
    2. Event date and time
    3. Event description
    4. Google geo-address of various security points within the event.

  • Admin can assign police personnel (employees) to specific locations (security points) for an event.
  • Hierarchical personnel allocation:
    1. Assign a Head Employee (team lead) to a location.
    2. Under the Head Employee, other employees will be allocated for that event's location.

  • Employees can log into the app and view assigned events and locations.
  • Integrated with Google Maps for easy navigation to assigned locations.

  • Upon reaching the designated location, employees will mark their attendance using the app.
  • Attendance is geo-tagged to ensure accuracy.
  • A customizable checklist will be completed at the time of marking attendance, with items such as:
    1. Proper dress code (uniform)
    2. Shoes
    3. Cap
    4. Other necessary equipment.

  • Head employees will have the ability to mark attendance and verify the checklist of employees assigned to them.
  • Real-time oversight of their team's deployment and readiness.

  • Admin and supervisors can generate reports for:
    1. Event summary
    2. Personnel attendance
    3. Checklist completion and compliance
    4. Geo-tagged records of personnel movements.
  • Exportable reports for further analysis and historical record-keeping.

Technical Features

  • Admin: Full access to event creation, personnel assignment, and report generation.
  • Head Employee: Limited access to oversee the attendance and performance of their assigned team.
  • Employee: Can view events, mark attendance, and complete checklists.

  • Use of Google Maps API for easy location mapping and employee navigation to their assigned event locations.

  • Captures the precise GPS coordinates when employees mark their attendance, ensuring they are at the correct location.

  • The app will be developed for both iOS and Android platforms.
  • Responsive and user-friendly interface, optimized for quick use in the field.

  • Admin can configure specific checklist items for different types of events (e.g., dress code requirements for a formal event vs. casual public gatherings).

  • Employees will receive notifications when assigned to an event.
  • Reminders to mark attendance when arriving at a location.

Implementation Timeline

The estimated time to develop and deploy the Settlement App is approximately 3-4 months, depending on final requirements and integrations. The development will be divided into the following phases:

  • Finalizing requirements and creating UI/UX designs.
  • Approval from stakeholders.

  • Frontend and backend development.
  • Google Maps API and geo-tagging integration.
  • Checklist and attendance module development.

  • Internal testing of all features.
  • Beta testing with a select group of users for feedback.

  • App deployment on iOS and Android.
  • Training sessions for Admin and Head Employees.
  • Go-live and monitoring.

  • Admin can configure specific checklist items for different types of events (e.g., dress code requirements for a formal event vs. casual public gatherings).

Technology Stack

Flutter(for cross-platform mobile app)

Node.js with Express

MongoDB (for scalability and real-time updates)

Google Maps API (for location services and navigation)

Security Considerations

All sensitive data, including attendance and geo-tagged information, will be encrypted in transit.

Secure login mechanisms will be employed, for Admins and Head Employees.

Different levels of permissions will be enforced to ensure that only authorized personnel have access to sensitive features.

Conclusion

The Settlement App will significantly improve the police department’s ability to manage events, allocate personnel, and track attendance and compliance. By automating these processes, the app ensures that security arrangements are more organized, efficient, and transparent.

We look forward to working with your department to bring this innovative solution to life.
