POSS & FIRES Training Summit a Huge Success
Freehold, NJ – June 10, 2008 – The Training Staff at Visual Computer Solutions eagerly instructed over 110 clients at the annual POSS & FIRES Training Summit on June 3-4, 2008. Teaching in classrooms at the Burlington County Emergency Services Training Center in Westampton, NJ, VCSI provided keynote addresses, scheduling and time/attendance classes, programming custom reports instruction, and roundtable discussions. Clients felt energized and excited to apply what they learned to their scheduling practices back at their agencies.
The following is a small sampling of the attendees’ comments about the conference:
“I would like to say that I picked up a ton of information that would be great for the department. All the instructors were great as usual. Everything was spaced out perfectly and made it easier to attend everything. I would not change a thing – keep up the great work!”
Patrolman Nicole Stivale, Westfield Police Dept.
“I highly recommend POSS for any agency or company doing scheduling for several reasons: 1.) It is so easy to use. If you can use a TV remote, you can use POSS. 2.) The Tech support from VCS is incredible. 3.) You can use as little or as much of POSS as you feel comfortable with and expand as you feel the need. 4.) The more you use POSS the more you will appreciate it.”
Lt. Divo Brun, Hamilton Township Police
“Your introduction to the product, your training and your service is superb.”
Sgt. Al McCarthy, Allendale Police Dept.
“The best in support and tech. Resolved staffing, time and attendance, and overtime issues – versatile system. (My dept. has 507 uniform staff and 163 support staff.)”
Lt. Ron Edwards, Hudson County Corrections
“I am computer challenged to say the least but willing and having to come into the 21 century. My dept. started using POSS this February. With the help of the VCSI staff and the online videos, I have become comfortable with POSS in my day to day requirements as we currently utilize the system. Eventually the Dept’s intent is to use more and more of the systems capabilities. So far, my transition has been pretty smooth to the point where fellow employees, Sgts, and subordinates come to me with questions and thankfully I can correctly answer them. This training and the hand out booklets are very helpful in my continued learning of this program.”
Patrol Sergeant Tom Gaffney, Bristol Twp. Police Dept.
“POSS Web – great.” “POSS itself is great.” “PARS – life saver.”
Joyce Rose, Communications Supervisor, Alert Ambulance
“My dept. has only used POSS for a short time, primarily for scheduling. In this short time, POSS has made my job easier but after this training, I immediately realized that if I use the program to its potential, it will make the entire dept.’s job more efficient and less time consuming.”
Pat Frank, Administrative Assistant, City of Poughkeepsie Police Dept.
VCSI thanks all who attended and we are looking forward to the 2009 POSS & FIRES Training Summit! (2009 dates will be announced shortly.)
