Comprehensive, best practice agency policy is essential to fulfilling that mission. At Lexipol, we have been engaged for nearly two decades in the challenging and inspiring work of creating law enforcement policies that help agencies mitigate risk and protect the sanctity of life. During this time, the national dialogue on police policy, especially as it pertains to use of force, has evolved and increased in intensity. Today, that conversation includes voices calling for reform to address systemic bias and excessive force as well as voices advocating for guidance that reflects the realities of police work. This website provides a resource for all stakeholders in the discussion around police use of force. By sharing Lexipol’s current policy positions as well as information about how our policies were developed, we hope to engage with law enforcement professionals and community members in the shared goal of creating safer communities.
