Case Study: Fargo Police Department achieves faster policy updates and improved professionalism with Lexipol

Education and Professionalism Enhanced Through Sound Policy

The Fargo Police Department, the largest municipal law enforcement agency in North Dakota (authorized for 186 sworn officers and 27 civilian staff), faced slow, inconsistent policy updates and a cumbersome print-and-distribute manual that left officers struggling to stay current. Seeking a timely, professionally vetted solution, FPD turned to Lexipol and its Law Enforcement Policies and Procedures to modernize policy governance and access.

Lexipol delivered an online and mobile policy manual plus Daily Training Bulletins (DTBs) written and reviewed by law enforcement subject-matter experts, giving officers instant access in the field and POST credit for training. The partnership with Lexipol produced faster policy updates, clearer rollout and training, increased officer confidence and professionalism, and responsive policy development (including a timely line-of-duty death policy); FPD has relied on Lexipol for over eight years with consistently positive results.
