Case Study: Sumter County Sheriff's Office achieves overtime cost savings and streamlined online training with Lexipol (CorrectionsOne Academy)

Sumter County Sheriff’s Office - Customer Case Study

The Sumter County Sheriff’s Office, which staffs more than 300 personnel and operates a 521‑bed detention center in central Florida, faced costly, time‑consuming in‑service training that required pulling four shifts onto specific training dates, paying overtime, keeping paper sign‑in logs, and developing curricula in‑house. To address these challenges, the agency began using Lexipol’s CorrectionsOne Academy in 2020 through a partnership with Securus Technologies.

Lexipol’s CorrectionsOne Academy provided a full‑service online training platform with hundreds of ready-made courses, reporting tools, and automated tracking, letting staff complete training at their posts and administrators run instant records and progress reports. The Lexipol deployment eliminated paper logs, maintained uninterrupted training during COVID‑19, reduced scheduling headaches, and significantly cut overtime costs by avoiding monthly in‑person pull‑outs of four shifts (about 80 people), streamlining training administration and compliance.
