Standard Operating Procedure & Policy Consultation Services
SOP & Policy Consultation & Development Services
Dirigo Safety offers expert policy development services for law enforcement agencies.
Our team has extensive experience in creating effective standard operating procedures (SOP) for law enforcement operations, risk management, and personnel oversight. We provide consultation to law enforcement administrators on a variety of policy matters, including the development of affordable SOPs that are tailored to the specific needs of each agency.
Reach out to our program directors Cynthia Brann and Lynne Doucette by email or phone for more information.
Our SOP and Policy Development Process
Our policy development process is thorough and comprehensive. We review and update all mandatory policies set forth by the applicable Criminal Justice Academy, as well as a selection of non-mandatory and workplace compliance policies. We also incorporate the standards required for accreditation, making the process easier for agencies that are interested in achieving accreditation. Over the course of our contract, we will continue to monitor for any new or updated policies from the Criminal Justice Academy, legislature, or best practices and update our policies accordingly.
Our policy library currently consists of over 100 policies and is regularly updated to address the changing needs of law enforcement agencies. All completed policies are provided in Microsoft Word format, allowing the target department to review and update them as needed easily. Dirigo will also provide ongoing support and policy consultation to ensure that the policies are effective and meet the department’s needs.
All completed policies are provided in Microsoft Word format for future review and updating by the target department. Once released to the department, Dirigo will amend the policies as necessary for approval from the Chief Law Enforcement Officer during the length of the contract.
We could not take on developing these advanced SOPs grounded in real-world experience without our team of accredited and lauded experts, including the following agencies:

Why Choose Dirigo Safety?
There are many options available for assistance, but there are several great reasons to choose Dirigo Safety, especially for law enforcement agencies in New England.
We are a truly Maine-based firm with staff from Maine and New Hampshire. This provides significant benefits as there is first-hand experience with exactly the same challenges as your officers face on a daily basis. Often the focus of programs based in other regions of the country is focused on issues that are substantially different from what makes sense in New England.
All our instructors have practical experience in the fields in which they provide instruction. We aren’t repeating by rote information learned in our own training days, we’re passing along our real-world experience and offering practical advice that makes sense.
With all our instructors being physically proximate to our training location, there are opportunities to network and coordinate with other officers around Maine, New Hampshire, and New England.
Oftentimes, what one agency needs isn’t the same as others. We have the knowledge, staff, and capabilities to customize training and consultations that no one else has, which the department specifically needs. We can be your one call that handles it all.
We strive to give excellent customer service. We understand that time is precious and you have many tasks to accomplish. Our quick response allows you to get answers and move on to other items.
