OMAG is committed to being the go-to resource for our member law enforcement agencies to mitigate law enforcement claims and lawsuits. In recent times, law enforcement related claims and lawsuits have increased dramatically. To mitigate law enforcement liability, OMAG offers many Value Added Services (VAS) to its members. Some of these include:
Lexipol Police Policy Manual: Lexipol provides Oklahoma-specific, customizable Police Policy Manuals, along with timely updates, based on federal and state law, regulations, and best practices.
Lexipol Daily Training Bulletins (DTBs): These are short, scenario-based training modules, modeled after your Department’s Policy Manual, which are designed to provide training specific to your Department’s Policy Manual.
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. OMAG strongly encourages all OMAG law enforcement agencies to become an ABLE certified agency and will assist your agency to become ABLE certified.
OMAG LELA Training Series: This is an intensive training series on law enforcement liability for select law enforcement personnel around the State. The OMAG LELA Training Series is typically held twice a year and each series consists of three training sessions, each consisting of traditional classroom training and roundtable discussions, utilizing case law, body cam, and other materials from real-life incidents.
Online training through LocalGovU: Courses are available for public safety and law enforcement employees, many of which offer CLEET credit.
Police Officer/Dispatcher Background Investigation Forms: 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 the background investigation easier for our members.
Onsite training: Our law enforcement training is specifically tailored to the needs of police departments.
