Lexipol is to DPD & APD what T.O.R.C.H is to New Horizon (aka Wellington aka Greenfield Homes) and Annie’s Place (aka Chattington Manor aka E & J Cottages) residential care homes.
T.O.R.C.H = Texas Organization of Residential Care Homes, North Texas Chapter. For-profit entity. Providing ALF owners with policy & procedural manuals for staff, crash-courses to meet state-requirements, food-discounts to help businesses maximize profits, and the prominent display of its members’ business names on the website A place for Mom,
@APlaceForMom. Plus accolades awarded to its ALF-members. Also included: a direct hotline to call should ALF be greeted, without prior notice, by a regulatory agency’s representative for an unannounced inspection to help walk ALF through said visit in real-time. And where the perks of ALF’s membership with TORCH exceed the costs of dues. Because Torch’s client is the ALF. The affiliation between ALF and TORCH rarely disclosed and not easily discoverable.
Lexipol: A Texas-based for-profit entity created by former LEOs turned Attorneys That Provides Police Departments across the nation, including
@DallasPD, with policy & procedural manuals. Online/In-Person crash-course training also offered. As a third-party contractor, Lexipol —like TORCH—awards accolades to its clients (Police Departments) for their successful implementation of its policies and procedures. For example,
@DallasPD received a Gold-Star Award from Lexipol for DPD’s successful implementation of Lexipol’s manuals within its department. The Perks of contracting with Lexipol exceed the costs of hiring Lexipol. Risks of lawsuits for not having proper manuals for employees reduced. Risks of lawsuits stemming from employees reduced. Because Lexipol’s clients are police departments. The affiliation between DPD and Lexipol also rarely disclosed and not easily discoverable.
Experience in Employment-Law provided much insight into the importance and legal ramifications of an employer having or lacking a policy and procedural manual in place and how these serve to protect the employer, employees, customers, clients, etc.
***Note: Whether or not LEO follow the policies/procedures contained in said manuals fall outside the scope of Lexipol’s role because the departments themselves oversee day-to-day operations and investigate complaints that are received within the 60-day deadline via internal channels like IAD. However, the 60-day deadline *MAY OR MAY NOT BE* one of the policy/procedures implemented in accordance with Lexipol’s manuals.
