Driving Efficiency in Law Enforcement: How Protos Select Transforms Off-Duty Operations

Share:

Norwalk, CT – Protos Security, a leading provider of integrated security solutions across North America, spotlights the growing success of Protos Select, a mobile platform purpose-built for off-duty law enforcement seeking flexible, high-quality job opportunities. Since its rollout, Protos Select has become a trusted solution for both off-duty law enforcement and agencies, simplifying off-duty shift management and creating new standards for transparency, speed and reliability.

“Our development team built Protos Select to help remove the friction that’s traditionally plagued off-duty scheduling,” said Michael Lussier, Manager of Off-Duty Relations, Protos Off-Duty Services. “Agencies now have a centralized platform to manage assignments, monitor attendance and respond to changes in real time. And for law enforcement, getting paid within 48 hours is a major positive shift in an industry where delays are often the norm. It’s about creating a better, faster experience for everyone involved.”

There are 800,000 law enforcement officers serving communities across the U.S., and the demand for dependable, flexible off-duty opportunities continues to grow. Protos Select meets that need by connecting officers with vetted, detail-rich assignments that match their skills, availability and preferences — all in a secure, easy-to-use app that includes:

  • Dynamic Job Board: Law enforcement officers can browse and claim shifts based on pay, location and timing.
  • Digital Punch Technology: Real-time clock-ins and clock-outs through the app.
  • Fast Payments: Protos Select users receive pay within 48 hours of completing assignments — no delays and no additional service fees.
  • Coordinator Tools: Manage jobs, assign shifts and receive real-time updates in a centralized interface.

“The new Protos Select app has been a game-changer in my role as a Coordinator,” said Capt. Keith Eremea, retired Arkansas State Police. “I can quickly view all of my locations, see which officers are assigned each day and take immediate action when needed — whether it’s canceling a shift due to weather or responding to a reported threat.”

With over 12,000 downloads, Protos Select is redefining workforce management for off-duty law enforcement. A key driver of this shift is digital punch adoption, ensuring greater accuracy and accountability while replacing outdated paper logs and verbal confirmations. The result is a smoother experience for officers, stronger compliance for agencies and meaningful cost savings through improved time tracking and reduced administrative overhead.

“One of the most valuable features is the geofencing technology,” added Capt. Eremea. “Officers can only check in within a 50-foot radius of their assigned location, and any early departures or absences are automatically flagged. This level of accountability has set us apart and earned the trust of local businesses. It’s an outstanding tool that enhances transparency, reliability and efficiency.”
