Case Study: Newton Police Department saves thousands and streamlines accreditation with PowerDMS

Newton Police Department saves $2,500 in mailing costs with PowerDMS

The Newton Police Department faced a costly and time-consuming accreditation and training process using a manual paper system. This resulted in thousands of dollars spent on overtime, printing, and shipping, along with inefficient policy distribution and missed training notifications. To address these challenges, the department turned to PowerDMS for its electronic document management and distribution solution.

By implementing PowerDMS, the Newton Police Department digitized its entire accreditation workflow and training notifications. The solution from PowerDMS enabled instant electronic distribution of policies, centralized online file storage for auditors, and ensured all officers received equal training information simultaneously. This resulted in saving substantial overtime costs, eliminating a $2,500 shipping expense for accreditation files, and drastically reducing paper use while freeing up staff time for core police work.
