Board considers Lexipol and other options to modernize personnel policies
Summary
County staff and public-safety leaders briefed commissioners on options to overhaul personnel policies: use a municipal HR attorney (estimated $7,000–$10,000) or contract with Lexipol for policy hosting, updates and employee training; commissioners requested a demonstration and two volunteers to attend.
County leaders told commissioners they need a comprehensive approach to update and maintain personnel policies. Staff summarized two primary options: hiring an HR attorney to draft and review policies (estimated in the $7,000–$10,000 range) or using Lexipol, a policy-management and training platform that maintains state-specific legal citations and can deliver employee training and acknowledgements.
A public-safety leader described the Lexipol law-enforcement and corrections suites already in use locally and said the combined cost for multiple modules and procedures previously ran in the low five figures; he estimated "around $14,000" when the county considered multiple components. Proponents emphasized Lexipol's ability to push legislative and case-law updates and to record employee acknowledgements and quizzes. Commissioners asked staff to schedule a vendor demonstration and asked for two volunteers to join the demo to ensure board buy-in before any contract is pursued.
