The development of the Mokena Police Department’s policy manual has helped foster a common understanding of the department’s operations, which in turn has increased productivity and service to the community.
The combination of comprehensive, legally defensible policy and regular training offered through Lexipol has proved vital in helping the Kankakee Police Department navigate state and local laws and regulations, accreditation standards and training requirements.
For almost 10 years, it had been a goal of the Greenfield Fire Department (GFD) to rewrite its policy manual. But the situation had never been critical—until 2011.
Lexipol has helped take the GFD’s policies from pieces of paper that sat in a binder to information that’s instantly accessible to all members.
The Batavia Fire Deparment is using its new policies to achieve consistency of operations and provide continuity through future leadership changes.
The Stoughton Fire Department is using Lexipol to create and maintain policies that bring the department up to industry best practice standards.
As a result of implementing Lexipol, the Ashwaubenon Department of Public Safety now has an efficient, easy way to keep policies updated. And with an efficient distribution system in place, all officers are operating off the same page.
Chief Jeffrey Pilz says the department is benefiting from its newfound ability to document policy acknowledgement and related training.
For Chief Dennis Reilly, the benefit of Lexipol is in the comprehensive system it offers—policies, training, web-based access, tracking and reporting—which allows him to provide good policy, facilitate access to it and reinforce it through review and training.
With the department’s policies and procedures now housed in an online platform, the University Police has a more efficient, accurate policy management system. And Lexipol’s proven policy content and continuous policy updates put the University Police on stronger legal footing.
Ottawa County Sheriff’s Office is using Lexipol’s Law Enforcement Policies & Training solution to achieve long-term cost savings, reducing resources allocated to policy maintenance and avoiding expensive policy-based lawsuits.
When John Caufield joined the Fort Myers Fire Department (FMFD) as chief in 2017, he did what any new chief would do: He began reviewing the department’s policies and procedures. “We had a 4- to 5-inch-thick binder full of stuff—some was policy, some was procedure,” Chief Caufield says. “There was no clear delineation between the two. We might have an eight-page document on high-rise procedures right next to a policy on command function. It cried out for organization.”
