Grouping officers makes assigning certain jobs easier. For example, you may have several officers who prefer highway enforcement or have a specific skill set, that you like to use for certain types of jobs. Grouping them makes it easier for you to connect them with certain jobs.

Groups are also very handy when you wish to limit access to jobs to specific officers. For example, some clients require additional paperwork be completed prior to working with them, these officers could be added to a group and then the user may limit access of the job to that specific group of officers.
