Lemont Police Earn Award For Policy, Training Management

LEMONT, IL — The Lemont Police Department has earned the Lexipol Connect 2020 Gold Award, Police Chief Marc Maton said during the Monday Village Board meeting. Lexipol is the national standards policy manual that the police department subscribes to, Maton said.

"Lemont was presented with a gold standard plaque for our policy development and adherence to the national standards," Maton said.

According to Lexipol's website, its Connect Recognition program strives for excellence in policy and training management. The program offers bronze, silver and gold recognition levels.

The program involves five metrics, including: policies issued, updates pending, daily training bulletins issued, policies acknowledged, and daily training bulletins taken. To reach gold recognition, the department had to meet requirements of these metrics, including acknowledging at least 80 percent of policies and issuing at least 80 percent of the daily training bulletin packages.
