Case Study: Buena Park Police Department achieves faster policy transparency and compliance with PowerDMS

Buena Park Police Department shares 200+ documents with PowerDMS

The Buena Park Police Department faced the challenge of complying with California Senate Bill 978, a new law requiring them to publicly publish all standards, policies, and practices online. This demand for increased transparency and accountability left many agencies scrambling to manage and share hundreds of crucial documents. The department turned to their existing vendor, PowerDMS, and its Public-Facing Documents service to find a solution.

Using PowerDMS, the department was able to instantly publish over 200 documents, including 156 policies and 49 standard operating procedures, to their public website with a single click. This solution saved significant time and money, ensured officers and the public always had the most current document versions, and greatly increased community trust. PowerDMS provided a centralized repository that simplified workflows and kept the Buena Park Police Department months ahead of the compliance deadline.
