Our Mission

Created in 2003 by two attorneys (and former law enforcement officers), Lexipol was born from a vision of a better,
safer way to run a public safety agency.

It was a perfect combination: Bruce Praet’s courtroom experience representing public safety agencies and Gordon Graham’s foundation in risk management principles, including a unique approach to training he created while at the California Highway Patrol.

From that foundation, Lexipol grew to form an entire risk management solution for public safety and local government.
We started by developing comprehensive, continuously updated policies for public safety agencies. Then we added
online training, wellness resources, grant services and an electronic policy management platform, as well as the digital communities Police1, FireRescue1, Corrections1, EMS1 and Gov1.

Today, we serve more than 2 million public safety and government professionals with a range of informational and technological solutions to meet the challenges facing these dynamic industries. But through all the changes, our mission remains the same:
To ensure the well-being and effectiveness of the public servants who safeguard our communities.
