Policy writing is a fundamental process for agencies to establish guidelines and standards for their operation and the conduct of their employees. Most law enforcement agencies recognize the need to write some form of policy manual. Fewer agencies take the time to regularly review and improve them.

PowerDMS recently wrote a series of articles on 12 Crucial Law Enforcement Policies which featured topics in which law enforcement agencies really ought to take a second look at, along with pointers on how to write effective policies. BlueIQ Chief Consultant Nicholas Haupt was interviewed for several of the articles in the series.
