Lexipol

Lexipol has served public safety for twenty years, and it now describes itself as a public safety solutions company. Its web-based platform combines five areas of support: policy, training, wellness, reporting and grants. That way police, fire, corrections and dispatch agencies, and the local governments behind them, can manage risk and look after their people from one system.

State-specific policy

The policy product is the foundation. Lexipol provides public safety policies written for each state, drafted by policy specialists and legal professionals, and it keeps them current as laws and standards change. Agencies get tools to distribute policies and track personnel acknowledgments. Lexipol argues that outdated, borrowed or missing policies expose an agency to physical, financial and legal risk. Its writers have backgrounds in constitutional law, civil rights, ADA and discrimination, mental health, labor negotiations, internal affairs, use of force and hazmat.

Training and accreditation

Online and field training options cover personnel at every stage of a career. The platform tracks progress and helps agencies meet mandates, and the company also supports accreditation work.

Wellness for people under stress

A mobile wellness app offers confidential resources for high-risk occupations to personnel and their families, including self-assessments, videos and guides. Peer support training and real-time usage data help leaders build a wellness culture.

Reports and grants

Reporting tools collect and analyze data in real time in place of paper processes, to support performance management and public trust. A searchable grants database and expert consultation help agencies find and apply for funding.

Case studies and sectors

Lexipol cites a fire department that replaced policy binders with a continuously updated system, a city using shared policies across police and fire, and a county corrections department. It also publishes industry news sites for the public safety community.
