Longview Police Department, serving about 37,520 residents with 61 officers (75 total staff), faced cumbersome paper-based training records, limited visibility into officer qualifications, and scheduling/overtime compliance risks that created liability and administrative burden. Under Training Sergeant Doug Kazensky, the agency began implementing Vector Solutions technologies—starting with the Vector Solutions Learning Management System in 2016 and later adding Scheduling (2017), Check It (2020) and Evaluations+ (2020)—to modernize training, reporting and day-to-day operations.

Using Vector Solutions’ LMS and integrated apps, Longview gained instant ROI: every officer’s training hours and requirements are tracked and accessible, training files and videos are centralized, and daily COVID screenings and DORs are managed electronically. Evaluations+ enabled mobile FTO reports with color-coded rankings and faster supervisor sign-offs; Check It streamlines asset tracking and weekly vehicle inspections; and the Scheduling app enforces overtime and the department’s 15-hour shift limit while giving officers self-service access to schedules and leave. Together these Vector Solutions tools reduced paperwork and liability, improved compliance and operational visibility, and saved staff time and payroll risk.
