Tell the right people you’re short-staffed before the next call drops. Set your status in one tap and WATCHDESK alerts everyone who needs to know — instantly, and on the record.
When the house drops below a safe crew, getting the word out usually means a flurry of phone calls and group texts — and nobody can say later who was actually notified. WATCHDESK Staffing turns that into one button: pick your level, and the people who matter are alerted automatically, with a permanent history of every change.
One control updates your status and notifies everyone who needs it — no phone tree required.
Set the house to In Service, Partial, or Out of Service from any device in a single tap.
Designated recipients get an SMS the instant your level changes — officers, neighboring stations, whoever you choose.
Every active member with push enabled is alerted too, so the whole roster knows the moment coverage drops.
Every status change is timestamped and stored, so you always have a record of when the house went in or out of service.
Define the staffing levels that match how your department actually operates.
Manage your recipient list and let members opt out of staffing alerts from their own profile.
Pick a level; recipients are texted and pushed automatically.
Tap In Service, Partial, or Out of Service.
Recipients are texted and the roster is pushed — instantly.
The change is timestamped and stored in history.
Staffing rides the same compliant SMS + push backbone as the rest of WATCHDESK.
Station Staffing is a premium add-on you can enable on its own. Sign in to turn it on, or see how it fits with everything else.
