The Authority Expands Policy, Procedure, and Training Resources to Include Lexipol Fire at No Cost to Members
By Management Analyst Abraham HanFirefighters and fire department leadership often face the simultaneous challenges of protecting the community and protecting their personnel while also striving to improve efficiency and operational excellence from a risk management perspective. Further challenging is that it often requires time and resources that agencies may not have to develop, distribute, and maintain policies and procedures consistently in an ever-changing legislative landscape.
To assist members with legally vetted policies, procedures, and policy-and-procedure-related training for their fire departments, the Authority has partnered with Lexipol to fully fund and provide state-specific fire policy and procedure updates and training at no cost.
Lexipol’s Fire Policies, Procedures, and Training solution provides the following benefits:
- State-specific policies vetted by fire service professionals and public safety attorneys
- Updates in response to legislation, case law, and evolving best practices
- Scenario-based training to bring policies to life
- 24/7 access to policies and procedures via a web-based platform and mobile app
In addition to the above-listed benefits, Lexipol’s Fire Services include enhanced department accountability and tracking. Lexipol Fire’s reporting features let department administrators track policy and procedure acknowledgment and completed training based on the department’s rules and regulations.
Lexipol Fire covers more than 165 different policies and procedures in potential high-risk areas. These areas include apparatus driving safety, vehicle operations, personal protective equipment, fireground accountability and operations, incident command, personnel complaints, discipline, administrative investigations, and civil unrest.
If your agency has a fire department interested in implementing Lexipol Fire, please contact Management Analyst Abraham Han or your regional risk manager.
