Jason: Hi. My name is Jason. I am a lieutenant. I give PowerDMS a five out of five. For more reviews like this, please click below. I've been using PowerDMS for over 10 years now. Primary uses include policy management, compliance and accreditation, training management, equipment management, inventory, as well as managing our extra duty and scheduling. What I like most about PowerDMS is that it's widely used amongst law enforcement agencies here in the States and nationally. It is a very simple system to use. But despite it being very simple, you can use it in a variety of different ways to help your agency. There is an available phone app for PowerDMS. While it is great for reviewing policy and documents out in the field, I do wish it was a little bit more robust in regards to training and scheduling.
