Brookshire approves $12,462 Lexipol subscription to update police policies
Summary
The City Council authorized the police department to contract with Lexipol (sole-source provider) for an annual policy subscription and one-time onboarding fee totaling $12,462.30 to update policies, including use-of-force, to reflect recent legislative changes.
The Brookshire City Council on Nov. 20 authorized the police department to enter a sole-source contract with Lexipol for an annual policy subscription and onboarding fee totaling $12,462.30. Chief Green told the council the department's policies are out of date and must be updated to reflect recent state and federal legislative changes; he described Lexipol as the only provider able to provide the same comprehensive service.
Council moved, seconded and approved the contract authorization. No alternative vendors or formal competitive-bid analysis was presented at the meeting; Chief Green characterized Lexipol as a sole-source provider. The motion passed with council voice votes ('Aye').
Why it matters: police policies, including use-of-force and statutory compliance items, shape department operations and officer training. The contract authorizes expenditure of public funds to update policy management and onboarding.
Next steps: staff will finalize the contract and proceed with onboarding as described by the department.
