PowerDMS Reviews

We use the Accreditation program of PowerDMS, and the administration and supervisors are the only ones using it in our department. It has helped us organize our files and make them available online for inspection.

PowerDMS is used by our agency for policy, updates, training and documents as well as the storage of certificates. The entire agency uses the program at various levels. The program offers one stop shopping for most everything we need. The ability to retrieve docs from one location and to validate user review is priceless.

I use PowerDMS to manage my accreditation assessment for state-level accreditation through the Illinois Law Enforcement Accreditation Program (ILEAP). I have done both methods of ILEAP accreditation - Paper and PowerDMS. Currently, PowerDMS is used only in the accreditation function, but we foresee training and policy being added later. PowerDMS streamlines the ILEAP process, saving not only trees and paper costs, but also time, energy, and the administrative footprint associated with managing police accreditation.

We use PowerDMS across the entire organization for policy acknowledgment, training and signatures, and accreditation. The main problem PowerDMS addresses for our organization is the ability to track changes in policy and new training.

Our agency uses Power DMS for three different assessments. Employees are able to add proofs, send notifications, look at progress reports, and many other tasks without having to keep several files on hand.

PowerDMS is used for policy and procedures. We send tests and surveys out to officers. During social distancing it has been very helpful.

PowerDMS is used by every employee in our department. Our general orders, standard operating procedures, employee notifications, employee benefit memos, and department information is all kept in PowerDMS. You are able to sign-off on written procedures and documents, while they are there for future reference.
So much easier to update and make corrections or changes in GO or SOP.

PowerDMS is used company-wide to manage education and policies. We use it to stay compliant with accreditation. Our users can read and sign our policies and we can keep track of which ones they have done or need to read. They can also have their annual education on the site and take tests to be sure they have read and understood the material.

Power DMS is currently being used by our police department and was recently picked up by our county to be used at other agencies within our county. At our police department, we use it not only to help us in our accreditation process but for a number of things such as training, creating and editing of general orders, SOP's, etc.

We use PowerDMS for our CALEA accreditation. Currently, the accreditation manager and the accreditation team within the Staff Services, Planning, and Communication Section are the main users for this system, even though we have licenses for 100 employees. The system allows the agency to document and highlight proofs of compliance to maintain its national accreditation.

We are using PowerDMS for several purposes. First of all, to store, manage and edit our many policies and other various documents. This allows us to have them easily accessible to staff as well as to the public. We also use PowerDMS to assist our staff with training on our policies, and other critical aspects of their positions.

We implemented PowerDMS in 2015 to manage our policy and our CALEA Accreditation. The entire department uses PowerDMS for our agencies Policy and Forms Library, Internal Training Course, and Career Development. As the Accreditation Manager, I utilize the software to manage our policy development, distribution, and tracking and document management and facilitation of our accreditation assessment.

PowerDMS is being used for our Accreditation as well as managing documents, and compliance for other standards.

The Arizona Association of Chiefs of Police started their state accreditation program in July of 2018. One of my first challenges for a new state accreditation program was how to manage the program. Drawing from my prior experience with PowerDMS as an Accreditation Manager and Assessor for the National and State Accreditation programs in another state, I immediately saw the value that PowerDMS could bring to the process, not only for myself but for our member agencies. PowerDMS is being used by AACOP to manage all phases of the accreditation program, including hosting our standards manual, creating assessments, allowing assessors to audit files off-site and bring added value to Arizona Law Enforcement with the other modules (documents, courses, certificates, tests, etc.). This allows agencies to move away from a paper-driven record keeping system and is a one-stop storage solution for all document retention needs.

PowerDMS houses all of our documents and procedures, as well as training courses and quizzes that help us comply with ISO 13485 standards. It solves our problem of document approvals, revision control, record retention and even verifying training effectiveness. Every employee in the building has a PowerDMS login for training purposes and some for document approval purposes. Before, we were keeping our records in filing cabinets and it would take forever to keep up with that system. Now we just type in what we need, or what team member we're searching for and it's all right there.

We use PowerDMS for our SOPs, memos, and training. We have gone almost 95% paperless and find it a great financial, environmental and space saver! Our admin staff finds it easy to use and our officers find it easy to navigate when reading new memos or searching for information.

We use PowerDMS throughout our entire agency. We use it for all of our policies and procedures, as well as for sharing information (memos, directives, bulletins, etc) with all of our members. We also use it for record keeping of our training records. And, we use it for accreditation in our agency.

PowerDMS is being used in multiple departments; we use it to track contracts expiration and renewal dates, share information between departments, and staff onboarding and continued training.

PowerDMS provides the user with a 'one-stop' database for all agency-related documents, training, surveys, and accreditation-related processes

PowerDMS is used by the agency for both accreditation purposes, assessment management, and as a document resource center. All policies and procedures are created in PowerDMS which provides a real-time tracking of the approval related activities. Once the document is approved, we track user review and signature for the document. Additionally, we use PowerDMS to provide remote web-based training to staff by incorporating video, PowerPoint presentations, policies, and other documents. The Training module is used to track all training requests, courses, and certificates.

Our agency utilizes the full package of PowerDMS! From documents and policy management, to training and accreditation. Every employee uses the program! It cuts down on the paper filing of training records like in the past.

PowerDMS houses all of our policies, forms and training. Before PowerDMS we had policies on 3 different sites, now they are on one easy to search and use site. We would run into problems of policies not be updated in all spots, so now that they are in one location, updating is no longer messy and it removes room for error.

PowerDMS is the document management system we utilize to house all of our Standard Operating Procedures, Policies, Training, Certifications, etc. The ability to edit documents in PowerDMS streamlines the process for housing documentation, as well as provides the ability to compare previous versions to currently updated copies. The ability to create a workflow, and allow permissions for certain users for various documents makes this software particularly unique and beneficial to the organization. PowerDMS is a fantastic software tool and I would recommend it to anyone.

PowerDMS is used by the College Station Fire Department to organize and publish our policies and protocols. It is used across the entire organization, though more heavily at the chief officers' level. PowerDMS addresses our need to communicate policy changes and receive feedback from our members. Many of our 160+ users use the app to have access to documents on-the-go.

My organization utilized PowerDMS to manage assessment for our member agencies. The ability to conduct these assessments remotley saves time and money.
