Yes. It's dumb.

our program began right around the time we were getting rid of positions. I heards it cost the dept a good chunk of change....the only purpose I see for it was for a certain LT to validate his/her position. What a waste of time/money. Glad to see others agree and its just not my salty self

We have one Lt. working full time on this for the next six months.

That's probably all it is. Or he's working on his masters or PhD and has to make all the peons suffer for it.

I don't get it. What does it accomplish?

I don't get it. What does it accomplish?

Saves staff time that might be spent on thinking of rational department policy by substituting a cookie-cutter (but vetted by lawyers) pre-made set of policies.

No, I don't think it's a good idea, but apparently enough people do that Lexipol has made a business out of it.

Nothing but keep out IT guys busy and offer another way to receive discipline when we dont complete them on time

It is too cookie cutter... As I posted a month or so back, we are trying to change our firearms policy, allowing us to carry personal duty weapons (which BTW, we knocked the cover off the ball, just have to see if the boss man robs it at the wall!)... In the policy, we discovered several contradictions regarding several things...

Essentially, we can already carry personal weapons for duty, and the range master can make modifications, etc... But I'm not going to be the test goat to try it out!
