Case Study: New Berlin Police Department achieves state-level reaccreditation in less than six months with PowerDMS

New Berlin Police Department achieves reaccreditation in less than six months with PowerDMS

The New Berlin Police Department faced the urgent challenge of achieving state reaccreditation with only six months to prepare, compounded by new leadership and no assigned accreditation manager. They turned to the vendor PowerDMS and its accreditation management service to compile three years' worth of compliance proofs and review hundreds of policies before their audit.

By implementing PowerDMS, the department efficiently uploaded, highlighted, and tracked all necessary policies and proofs electronically. PowerDMS enabled a mock assessor to review their work remotely and allowed the agency to save hundreds of hours on their next assessment by copying all their work with a few clicks. The software transformed their accreditation process from a last-minute scramble into an efficient, ongoing agency-wide initiative.
