Set Public Hearing For_ <br />CONTINUED TO <br />FILE NUMBER <br />Authorize the City Manager and Clerk of the Council to execute an agreement with Lexipol, LLC, <br />for a three-year period, to provide policy manual maintenance, support and training services, <br />subject to non-substantive changes approved by the City Manager and City Attorney. <br />DISCUSSION <br />Lexipol, LLC ("Lexipol") proposes to provide the Police Department with a web-based law <br />enforcement policy manual to replace the existing policy manual that is currently maintained by <br />the department. The Lexipol Law Enforcement Policy Manual has over 140 policies based on <br />federal and state laws, regulations and law enforcement best practices. Lexipol's policy manual is <br />written by legal and law enforcement professionals who constantly monitor major court decisions, <br />legislation and emerging trends affecting law enforcement operations. Lexipol provides regular <br />updates in response to legislative mandates, case law and evolving law enforcement best <br />practices. <br />Once implemented, the use of Lexipol will reduce staff time spent revising and drafting <br />departmental policies. Lexipol archives departmental policies and tracks changes, facilitating <br />improved documentation of policy revisions. Lexipol also documents officers who have reviewed <br />certain policies for keeping up-to-date training records. <br />In addition, Lexipol proposes to provide Daily Training Bulletin services that will provide <br />comprehensive daily training to help police employees learn the content of the policy manual and <br />the practical application of the policies. Each year, Lexipol will furnish 365 customizable, scenario- <br />based training bulletins that will link directly to the policy manual. The Daily Training Bulletins will <br />address use of force, vehicle operation, discriminatory harassment, and a variety of other law <br />enforcement risk management topics. The Police Department will have the ability to customize the <br />Daily Training Bulletins to address agency-specific topics. <br />25A-1
