Lexipol : Mission-Critical Solutions From People Who Know What It Means To Serve

Created in 2003 by two attorneys ( and former law enforcement officers ), Lexipol was born from a vision of a better , safer way to run a public safety agency .
It was a perfect combination : Bruce Praet ’ s courtroom experience representing public safety agencies and Gordon Graham ’ s foundation in risk management principles , including a unique approach to training he created while at the California Highway Patrol .
From that foundation , Lexipol grew to form an entire risk management solution for public safety and local government . We started by developing comprehensive , continuously updated policies for public safety agencies . Then we added services such as such as online training , mental health resources , grant assistance and an electronic policy management platform , as well as the digital communities Police1 , FireRescue1 , Corrections1 , EMS1 and Efficient1 .
Today , we serve more than 2 million public safety and government professionals with a range of informational and technological solutions to meet the challenges facing these dynamic industries .
What We Do Our solutions combine content and technology to keep communities and first responders safe . They include : policies and updates , online learning , wellness resources , grant services , and news and analysis .
Thousands of years of experience on your side . We ’ ve grown a lot from those first days when Bruce , Gordon and few other early believers wrote and researched policies on their days off . Today , Lexipol is backed by the expertise of more than 320 people , including public safety professionals and legal experts with more than 2,075 years of combined service .
Our policy and training content developers have experience in constitutional law , civil rights , ADA and discrimination , labor negotiations , Internal Affairs , use of force , mental and behavioral health , and a whole lot more . That means no more trying to figure out policy and develop wellness and training content on your own . You can draw on the experience of our dedicated team of individuals who have researched , taught and lived these issues .
On top of industry changes — so you don ’ t have to be . When laws and trends change , your policies and training need to change , too . Our content development teams monitor for new legislation , statutes and case law on the state and federal levels , looking for anything that impacts policy and training content . They also keep up with research and reports influencing public safety and local government best practices . When a policy update is needed , we create it for you . When new challenges arise — such as COVID-19 , the opioid epidemic or an increase in active shooter events — we jump into action , creating online resources and training to prepare your personnel to meet
