Since this blog is about REJIS, I thought it would be good to take a look at some of the programs that REJIS offers.
The first is a recent addition to the portfolio and has been very well received by members of the law enforcement community. It came from one department's request to get away from the paper policy manuals that had been around forever, yet still be able to meet the requirements set forth by CALEA (Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies). The result was the Policy Acknowledgement SyStem or PASS.
PASS was designed to facilitate the review and acknowledgement of new and revised policies distributed by an agency. Using a web browser as the main access point, the system allows staff to review policies at their convenience from any agency authorized personal computer. In addition to providing a repository for policy information, PASS supports comprehensive tracking and reporting functions, including electronic signatures.
Some of the key features of the system are instant distribution of the most current versions of agency policies,procedures, and other correspondence are distributed instantly to all personnel via e-mail. E-mail can be also used to notify employees of directives waiting to be reviewed. Everyone is updated and current at all times. The system is accessed through a web browser from any agency computer, saving space formerly occupied by paper manuals.
Access is managed via user IDs and passwords. All access can be managed and controlled by a designated administrator to ensure document integrity. It also includes on-line policy testing to test the comprehension of employees on written policy. You can create and manage your own tests.
Users can sign off or test by entering their userID after reviewing a policy. Officers in the field can view the policies and documents from their mobile laptops. Supervisors can bulk signoff for users during initial set-up of previously acknowledged documents.
The system is also paperless so you can eliminate paper products, printing costs and physical storage space while preserving data integrity. The report function contains testing and acknowledgement reports that meet all CALEA (Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies) requirements and the on-demand reports allow supervisors to review who has completed policy review and testing. Documents can be also downloaded from Word and all documents can be searched by key words.
PASS is available in a client/server version and as an internet based application. PASS isn't just a law enforcement tool, it can also be used by any organization needing record of policy distribution and acknowledgement.
