Event planning
Create an event, set its dates and jurisdiction, and track it through a clear workflow — setup, hierarchy, locations, assessment, allocation, active.
Security deployment management
Plan the bandobast. Deploy with confidence.
Bandobast brings event planning, location assessment, personnel allocation and duty rostering into a single system built for police and law-enforcement organisations — so every post is assessed, every gap is visible, and every deployment is on record.
The application runs at app.bandobast.online — access is issued by your organisation.
Everything a deployment needs, in one place
From the first sanction letter to the closing report, Bandobast keeps the plan, the people and the paperwork together.
Locations on a map
Place every post, barricade and picket on an interactive map. Drag to reposition, group into a hierarchy, and see the whole deployment geographically.
Threat assessment
Apply assessment templates across locations, capture risk factors, and move each one through submission and approval with a full status trail.
Personnel allocation
Allocate by requirement, designation or criticality — manually or automatically. Shortfalls are highlighted the moment they appear.
Duty rosters & shifts
Build shift-wise duty rosters, assign additional duties, and issue duty registers that reflect exactly who stands where, and when.
Reports & exports
Assessment, allocation and gap-analysis reports, ready to print or export to PDF and CSV for the record and for higher offices.
WhatsApp notifications
Send duty and roster allocations straight to personnel on WhatsApp, per station — so the deployment reaches the people who have to execute it.
External forces
Track units drawn in from outside — strength, arrival, accommodation and deployment status — alongside your own personnel.
Role-based access
Officers see what their rank and posting allow. Every allocation and approval is attributable to the person who made it.
How a deployment comes together
The same sequence every time, so nothing is missed between the order and the ground.
Create the event
Record the occasion, its dates, the jurisdiction and the command hierarchy that will run it.
Map the locations
Place each post on the map and organise them into sectors, zones and sub-units.
Assess and approve
Apply templates, capture the risk picture for every location, and get assessments approved.
Allocate and deploy
Fill each requirement, close the gaps, publish the roster and notify the personnel.
Built for the way forces actually work
Hierarchy-aware
Ranges, commissionerates, divisions, stations and posts are modelled as they exist, not flattened into a list.
Works on the ground
A web console for the control room and a mobile app for officers in the field, sharing the same live deployment data.
An auditable record
Assessments, approvals, allocations and changes are timestamped and attributable, so the file stands up to scrutiny afterwards.
