Case Study: Virginia Commonwealth University Police Department saves time and money with PowerDMS

Virginia Commonwealth University Police Department saves time and money with PowerDMS across 2 campuses

The Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) Police Department sought an efficient way to manage its first International Association of Campus Law Enforcement Administrators (IACLEA) accreditation process. Accreditation Manager Shana Mell advocated for using PowerDMS, a paperless file building system, to modernize and streamline the traditionally cumbersome self-assessment and on-site review procedures.

By implementing PowerDMS, the department electronically managed its entire accreditation assessment. The software provided clear visibility into tasks and priorities, creating a streamlined and efficient process. According to VCU Police, PowerDMS saved the agency significant time, money, and resources, leading to a successful accreditation outcome. Shana Mell credits PowerDMS for offering tools designed specifically for accreditation managers and highly recommends the electronic approach.
