Case Study: Farmingdale State College State University of New York Police Department achieves policy modernization and NYSLEA accreditation readiness with Lexipol

SUNY-Farmingdale Police Department A Policy Foundation For The Long Term

Farmingdale State College State University of New York Police Department, a 16‑officer force protecting a 380‑acre campus of nearly 10,000 students, faced outdated, ad‑hoc policies and the challenge of meeting 110 New York State Law Enforcement Accreditation (NYSLEA) standards while efficiently getting current guidance to staff. To address this, the department turned to Lexipol’s New York Law Enforcement Policies and Training service for a ready‑made policy foundation and tools to standardize and distribute policy and training.

Lexipol provided about 155 New York–specific policies aligned to NYSLEA, a Knowledge Management System with mobile access, Daily Training Bulletins, customization options, and Professional Services support. Using Lexipol, the department centralized policy dissemination, ensured officers access the current versions via the mobile app, tracked acknowledgements and training completion with an audit trail, and refreshed officer training—positioning the agency to pursue full accreditation with a measurable, standards‑aligned policy set.
