Overall Satisfaction with PowerDMS
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.
- Document Storage: PowerDMS store all types of documents in any format and allows the administrator to keep track of who receives the documents.
- Security: PowerDMS security features ensure that documents do not fall into the wrong hands, which is critical in a law enforcement environment.
- Courses: PowerDMS allows training officers to create courses to push out to their agency, thus freeing up more time for practical "hands-on" training.
- As a program manager, it would be nice to allow me to share more with my Accreditation Managers.
- Would like an easier way to create courses and certificates.
- Combine the course and certificate feature so that you do no t need to create a certificate for a PowerDMS course, only outside courses.
- PowerDMS has had a significantly positive ROI for the Arizona Chiefs and their member agencies.
- Allowing ALEAP Assessors to audit files off-site prior to the on-site assessment frees the assessors for more time interviewing agency members and the community.
