Partner Testimonial
"When looking at the cost of risk and litigation associated with policies that are outdated or insufficient, the services offered by Lexipol make total sense. The fire industry has needed a fire policy manual service for a long time, and now we have one that is easy to use and keeps us up-to-date with the legal and regulatory changes that impact our industry and directly affect the way we do business."
Nathan Trauernicht, Chief
UC Davis Fire Department, CA
"The main reason I chose to purchase the Lexipol fire version of its policy manual was because our police department has had a lot of success with it since its adoption. They are current with state statutes and laws, and more importantly consistent in the way they follow policies and procedures. This would not only allow our department to maintain consistency with certain policies, but rely on legal insight and industry best practices to formulate our own policy manual."
Pete Mercado, Chief
Calexico Fire Department, CA
"We were faced with an incomplete, outdated set of policies that has resulted in preventable liability and labor-relations issues. The release of the Lexipol Fire Policy Manual has provided us with a solid foundation upon which we can build a policy manual that is based on sound legal interpretations and best practices. The Lexipol product is easily customizable, which allows us to include policies that address our local needs. The subscription also includes training modules in our policies, which closes the gap on the most overlooked aspect of policy management."
Michael W. McLaughlin, Chief
City of Merced Fire Department, CA
"We have been lacking a current policy manual. So we are excited to start working on our Lexipol Fire Policy Manual as we have been eagerly anticipating the release of this new service. Our city police department uses Lexipol and we understand and appreciate the importance of keeping up-to-date policy and continuous training for our firefighters. This will make a huge difference in the day-to-day operations of our department."
Douglas Fry, Chief
Belmont Fire Department, CA
"As a manager, I understand the importance of keeping up-to-date in relation to policies and training. We are excited to begin working with Lexipol on our new Fire Department Manual. I have been through this process on the law side a number of years ago. During our relationship, we crafted an excellent policy manual for my police agency that was well-written and current. From my early review of the Fire Manual from Lexipol, I know we will obtain the same quality of excellence in a Fire Department Policy Manual along with the Daily Training Bulletins."
