BACKGROUND:
The Rialto Police Department currently utilizes Lexipol Knowledge Management System as our department policy provider and has done so for many years. In February 2017, the Police Department was authorized to add additional services from Lexipol; Daily Training Bulletins (DTBs), management of the DTBs, and the Lexipol Management Services.
ANALYSIS/DISCUSSION:
There are many benefits to the Rialto Police Department utilizing Lexipol. Lexipol provides comprehensive, defensible policies written by legal and public safety professionals. Their legal and experienced public safety team instills complete confidence by constantly monitoring and reviewing government legislation and case decisions. There are more than 150 policies based on federal and state statutes, case law and law enforcement best practices.
Lexipol's Daily Training Bulletins (DTBs) bring the manual into practice through real-life; scenario-based training exercises emphasizing high-risk, low frequency events. DTB's are completed and verified in less than ten minutes per day. Each month, Lexipol provides customizable, scenario-based training bulletins that link directly to our department policy manual. The DTBs are incorporated into each officer's daily shift training.
