Case Study: Byram Mississippi Police Department reduces liability and training costs with PowerDMS

Byram Mississippi Police Department cuts accreditation from 3 days to 2 with PowerDMS

The Byram Mississippi Police Department, a law enforcement agency, faced challenges with officers accessing necessary information efficiently, managing mandatory training without costly overtime, and handling a cumbersome, paper-based accreditation process across three disparate systems. They turned to PowerDMS for a document and policy management solution.

By implementing PowerDMS, the department created a central, online repository for all policies, training, and accreditation files. This solution from PowerDMS allowed officers to complete training online and access documents from anywhere, which saved money on overtime and reduced liability insurance claims. The software also streamlined accreditation, cutting the on-site assessment from three days to two and reducing the number of assessors. Most significantly, PowerDMS provided the documented proof needed to successfully avoid a potential federal lawsuit.
