Case Study: Yuma Police Department streamlines field training and reduces liability with PowerDMS

Yuma Police Department cuts DOR filing time from 3–5 days to 1–2 hours with PowerDMS

The Yuma Police Department was facing inefficiencies and liability risks due to its outdated, paper-based Field Training Officer Program (FTOP). The manual process for handling over 1,000 Daily Observation Reports (DORs) annually was slow, unsecure, and lacked standardized workflows, taking 3-5 days to complete a single report.

By implementing PowerDMS, the department modernized its FTOP with a cloud-based filing system and automated workflows. This PowerDMS solution streamlined the entire DOR process, reducing the filing time from 3-5 days to just 1-2 hours, improving accountability, and organizing all documentation to better protect the agency from future legal action.
