Law Enforcement Policies
OMAG currently offers its members free access to police policies and training on these policies through Lexipol policies and Lexipol Daily Training Bulletins (DTBs). Lexipol policies meet current constitutional and state law requirements and are designed to reduce law enforcement liability. OMAG has identified certain Lexipol policies that OMAG expects its members to incorporate into their police manual. These policies are identified in the link below.
Due to the drastic increase over the last few years in both the cost and number of law enforcement claims, in the future, an OMAG member’s use or non-use of Lexipol policies and DTBs may impact that member’s premium, deductible, or participation in the OMAG General Liability Plan.
For more information regarding Lexipol policies and DTBs, contact OMAG’s Law Enforcement Specialist Kevin J. Katz at kkatz@omag.org or 405-657-1466.
ABLE OKLAHOMA
ABLE is a national hub for training, technical assistance, and research, all with the aim of creating a police culture in which officers routinely intervene—and accept interventions—as necessary to:
Prevent misconduct,
Avoid police mistakes, and
Promote officer health and wellness.

Background investigations are vital to ensure that a Police Department is hiring qualified, competent, honest, and capable officers. OMAG has put together some sample forms, letters, checklists, questionnaires, etc. to make that background investigation a little easier for our members.
