Lincoln City Police Department receives award

The Lincoln City Police Department (LCPD) was recognized recently with the LEXIPOL Gold Plaque award.

LEXIPOL is a policy management and training program designed to enhance officer knowledge and to standardize department procedures.

An administrator with LEXIPOL said the LCPD has shown dedication to updating the program’s policies and procedures, as well as training officers. It is important for law enforcement agencies to keep up to date with the most recent case law, criminal procedures, and ethical standards, according to the agency.

The LCPD also is recognizing Lt. Jeffrey Winn, who spearheads the LEXIPOL program at the police department and is instrumental in ensuring officers are completing their training.

“He also creates and update our policies on a regular basis,” Sgt. Torin Liden said in a release. “Without his work, our department would not have achieved this award.”

The award was presented to the LCPD On Tuesday, May 28.
