Having these comprehensive policies in place also helped the agency gain CALEA accreditation in April 2022.ĪPSO’s Professional Standards & Accountability Unit is benefiting from the ability to keep policies up-to date and provide consistency across the department.
“It’s been a game changer for us as an agency to help us move into the future, to help us progress, to help us communicate better with our employees,” Lt. With Lexipol, APSO has created a foundation based on nationwide standards and best practices. On the management side, it’s pretty intuitive,” Lt. “With the electronic manual, it’s so much easier to find what you’re looking for. Using an online system for policy management also increases productivity for APSO’s Professional Standards & Accountability Unit. We can reach the entire department at once with a Daily Training Bulletin,” Sgt. “We’re an agency that was recently accredited and we found the Daily Training Bulletins to be a very good portal for standards and to issue training on those standards, like pursuit training or bias training. Once the new policies were in place, APSO started using Lexipol’s Daily Training Bulletins to enhance employee policy comprehension. It was absolutely wonderful to have someone help us facilitate that.” “We were customizing policies to our specifications, including policies that were best practice and policies that we didn’t even realize we needed. “It wouldn’t have gone as smoothly without the Lexipol Implementation Services representative, because everything was all so new,” Lt. While going live with Lexipol took time, APSO had the help of Lexipol’s Professional Services to walk them through the process.
“So we started making phone calls and eventually, we became the first sheriff’s office in Louisiana to have a Lexipol policy manual.” “We knew that if we were ever going to be an accredited agency through CALEA, we would probably need to be under the Lexipol model,” he says. I was at his two-hour seminar, and I was blown away by it,” Sheriff Webre says.Īt the time, Lexipol was not yet providing services in Louisiana. “I’d never seen anybody in my life that could make risk management interesting.
