Digital Squad Calendar Available for iPhone

Happy holidays to all. This year, in addition to the yearly paper squad calendars designed by Kevin, I have developed an iPhone version of the calendar which is currently being offered for FREE on the Apple App Store.

The Squad Calendar iPhone app will allow you to see what days you have off, to enter overtime and extra duty hours worked, and to view monetary calculations of these hours hour per job or yearly based on real time pay rates specific to the Waterbury Police Department. The app also includes a feed of the newest postings on the Local1237.org website.*

You can get the app by searching “Squad Calendar” in the app store, or by navigating to http://itunes.com/apps/squadcalendar in Safari.

Hope you’ll find it useful.
