Case Study: Jefferson (GA) Fire Department achieves streamlined, compliant policies and reduced risk with Lexipol

Jefferson Fire Department Evolving Policies to Better Serve The Community

Jefferson Fire Department, a combination department about 50 miles northeast of Atlanta that responds to roughly 1,400 calls a year, faced growing pains as it shifted from an all‑volunteer force to a mix of full‑time, part‑time and volunteer staff. Rapid expansion left the department with disorganized SOPs, SOGs and memos that were rarely practiced and created legal and operational risk—so Chief Mark Duke sought a standardized, modern policy and training solution and chose Lexipol’s Georgia Fire Department Policies and Training offering.

Lexipol delivered an online, legally‑vetted policy library and Daily Training Bulletins that are concise, easy to understand and accessible from any computer or smartphone, eliminating the need to print binders for every station and simplifying updates. By keeping policies current with OSHA, state and federal requirements and providing routine training content, Lexipol has reduced administrative burden and exposure to risk while helping Jefferson Fire Department improve consistency, training coverage and policy compliance.
