OUR MISSION – Helping Fire Chiefs

Our mission is to help Fire Chiefs build and maintain online Policy Manuals. Manuals that are always current and readily accessible to staff from any device using a web browser.

Our approach addresses policy manual development with a simple strategy. We recognize that specific, unique policies are needed across a wide variety of operations.

Collaboration : working as a team with you

Real-Time Collaboration

Policy creation often involves multiple stakeholders. policyBUILDER facilitates real-time collaboration, allowing staff to work together, offer feedback and make revisions simultaneously.
We work to ensure policies are clear and accurately reflect the collective input of staff.

Web Enabled policy manual

We have taken a unique approach to enable access to your manuals, not only with the customary web-link, but also by scanning a QR Code – doing so quickly links staff to the department’s complete and current online policy manual.
Place QR Code labels virtually anywhere: on radios, on equipment, the apparatus dashboard, on bulletin boards. Staff can quickly reference policies with their phones and ipads!

Recognizing that each department has unique needs, policyBUILDER offers a wide variety of customizable policy templates. These templates provide the foundation to be tailored to department specific requirements, ensuring consistency and compliance.
