Administrative Management Dashboard
Project start
January 2017
Human and financial resources management within the SPVQ (Quebec City Police Service) can represent a challenge since it involves reporting to two different agencies (the SPVQ and City officials). Managers must be able to monitor and explain any variations. The lack of a key administrative tool entails additional work for managers to accomplish this task. This project aims to develop a tool to support managers with follow-ups and reports regarding human and financial resources in the form of an administrative management dashboard.
