Costs

There is an initial enrollment discount for multiple programs.

•Must be same CEO.

•Agencies can receive the discount regardless of which program is contracted for first.

•Check with RPM for total discount price as it varies by agency size.

Costs

•The discount is only related to initial admin fee.

•Assessment fees are not included and are specific for each program. (You can save money by having concurrent on-sites using a modified team.)

 

Hard Copy - File Construction

Hard Copy Files

Multiple files−Agencies can maintain separate files for each program.

−ISSRs/Proofs for each program should be in the separate files.

Electronic - File Construction

If you use PowerDMS:−There will be no hard copy files for this type of assessment, everything is

scanned into the system.

−All proofs will be attached to the appropriate standards.

−Multiple Assessments options

−No ISSRs

If you use an agency created system:

−Can be set up as individual programs, or they can use the crosswalk process.

−Proofs can be scanned in, similar to the PowerDMS structure.

−Consult with your Program Manager if you plan on using an agency created system.

Assessment OptionsContinued

Assessment OptionsContinued

Law Enforcement Only

•Accredited Communications = Chapter 81 deemed in compliance

•Accredited Training Academy = Most of Chapter 33 deemed in compliance

Assessment OptionsContinued

Campus Security Only

•Accredited Communications = Chapter 81 deemed in compliance

•Accredited Training Academy = Most of Chapter 33 deemed in compliance

Crosswalk

We have recently developed a crosswalk system to assist in this process. Using this procedure you do not have to duplicate efforts on files that are applicable to multiple programs, as long as the Law Enforcement program policies are totally applicable to the Communications and Academy programs.

Crosswalk continued

Using this procedure, you are able to gain compliance with duplicated standards as is done currently with Chapter 81 and some of Chapter 33, without having to maintain duplicate files. The mapped and certified standards are deemed “in compliance” by the assessment team. You do not have to maintain separate or dual files for this procedure.

Crosswalk continued

If you are using the crosswalk process, you must insure that the Law Enforcement files completely and correctly cover Communications or Academy components. Your standards that cover recruiting plans, grievances, etc. must contain information relating to the subcomponents.

Crosswalk continued

You may not have specific proofs for each program, such as if there were no grievances from the Communications center, but if you do it is good to use one of them as proof. The assessors completing the Law Enforcement portion will be cognizant of the crosswalk application, and will make sure that this is properly covered to ensure compliance.
