IMPORTANT: Maine Law Enforcement and Corrections Customers

Earlier this year, it was announced JPMA was joining the Lexipol family. Rest assured you will get the same quality service and training you have come to expect from JPMA and a smooth transitional process.

Lexipol, the leader in public safety and risk management for law enforcement, offers robust training through its premier platform PoliceOne Academy, allowing your staff to train anytime, anywhere from their mobile devices.

If you haven’t already logged in to Lexipol’s PoliceOne Academy training platform, don’t worry, you can watch a recording of the training session on demand. This training will cover how to access the JPMA course content and introduce you to the over 1,500 training courses available through the PoliceOne Academy platform. Plus, you’ll learn about how admins can create their own custom online courses, manage members, set up assignments and learning plans, run various reports and more.

Effective immediately, all 2022 mandatory training required for the state of Maine will ONLY be available on the PoliceOne Academy website which you can access with your current JPMA subscription.

Once your agency is ready to transition to PoliceOne Academy, contact Lexipol customer support at customersupport@lexipol.com. The JPMA platform will be permanently closed on December 1, 2022. After that time, you will only have access to the PoliceOne Academy site.

Lexipol looks forward to working with you and continuing to provide quality training for you and your agency.

LEO Roll Call: Week of 7/18/2022 (Returning to School After a Crisis)

Following a crisis like a school shooting, students and community members can experience vicarious trauma: an adverse reaction to trauma exposure and secondary traumatic stress: the emotional duress that results when an individual hears about the firsthand trauma experiences of another. This guide from the National Center for School Safety is a resource that adults can use to help students cope with the aftermath of a school shooting or other traumatic events. This resource identifies best practices in discussing traumatic events with students, outlines steps for having conversations about traumatic events, and describes strategies to manage stress and trauma responses.

Lexipol offers policy services!

This article highlights how the Monona (WI) PD is working with Lexipol on a complete overhaul of their more than 200 policies to be done by the end of this year. Below are some quotes from the article:

“Lexipol’s focus is providing recommendations for enforcement policies that are within best practice and in compliance with state and federal statutes,” said Police Chief Brian Chaney. “That’s their (Lexipol) whole job, to make sure that everything is in compliance with case laws that change, which can happen frequently. There are lawsuits that don’t necessarily mandate the change, but it certainly changes the conversation with respect to best practice.”

“Everything in the policy and procedural manual will be searchable online, making it more user friendly,” Chaney said. “Not only was I thinking in terms of public access to this information, but also internally to make sure our staff could easily reference, look up, follow and have access to these policies.”

Chaney explained the purpose of Lexipol is to help create sound policy for police departments across the country, so the Monona government officials and residents should trust that the consultant’s recommendations are what’s best for the city. “The point I’d like to make is that we’ve already invested in a company that has done tons of research into what is the most sound policy for police departments and what will fit your police department.”

LEO Roll Call: Week of 7/11/2022 (Responding to Incidents of Mass Firearm Violence)

“Incidents of mass firearm violence galvanize public attention and challenge the capacity of first responders to initiate a coordinated response. Lieutenant Branden Clarkson was in the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department (LVMPD) command post during the Route 91 Concert mass shooting in 2017. He was responsible for the real-time tracking of where officers were, what they were doing, and what resources they needed. He joins What’s New In Blue to tell his story and explain how the LVMPD executed a successful response.”
