?? We recently sat down with one of our customers, Captain Larry Jones of the Page Police Department, to discuss how Guardian Alliance? is impacting their recruitment process. The conversation revealed a powerful truth: time saved in hiring directly translates to increased competitiveness in attracting top talent. Captain Jones shared an "aha" moment, emphasizing the challenge of hiring officers in today's environment. "The time that we take from our process to hire a police officer is long and costly. And so anytime, anything we can do in that process where we're saving some time or saving some cost, is a big thing. Especially nowadays, with the environment that we're in, it's difficult to hire officers." He highlighted that Guardian's platform significantly speeds up background investigations, giving them a crucial edge when candidates are considering multiple agencies. ?? He further explained how Guardian streamlines the process: "Once we get through the initial testing process and we decide who we want to move forward with, we just throw their information in the Guardian platform and then it basically does the work for you." By automating reference checks and verifications, Guardian allows the Page Police Department to focus on building relationships with promising candidates.

?? Our latest whitepaper, authored by George Hunter, a retired officer of the Warren County Sheriff's Office in Ohio after 27 years and the Director of Training at ALICE Training, presents findings and practical strategies to improve threat prevention and officer wellness in our educational settings. This white paper, developed from insights gathered at an event hosted by the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office in partnership with Amazon Web Services (AWS), dives deep into how we can bridge the gaps in information sharing and create a more comprehensive approach to school safety. The paper challenges the notion that technology alone can solve the school safety crisis. As Juan Santiago, a retired Citrus County Sheriff's Office, notes, "When it comes to safety, it requires a multidisciplinary approach. And what I mean by that is that the technology is awesome, but that alone is not enough." ?? Read the white paper today to explore these strategies in depth and discover how we can collectively build safer schools for our children. #awspartner #awsgovtech #publicsafety #officerwellness #schoolsafety #lawenforcement

?? In our recent webinar featuring Sergeant Todd Baker from the Washington County Sheriff's Office, we had a fantastic discussion on innovative recruitment strategies in law enforcement. ?? One of the biggest "aha" moments came when Sergeant Baker shared their agency's approach to applicant triage. Instead of waiting until later in the process, they use PHQs right at the beginning, sent to everyone who meets the minimum qualifications. "We filtered out over 800 applicants that never went to pre-suit or panel interviews because of triage,” Sergeant Baker explained. This allows them to efficiently identify and remove applicants with automatic disqualifiers or those who simply don't follow instructions. Think about the time and resources that saves! It really got us thinking - how can we help agencies proactively identify the best candidates while streamlining the process and reducing costs? At Guardian Alliance Technologies, that's exactly what we're focused on! We're transforming law enforcement recruitment by modernizing and streamlining the hiring and background investigation processes. Our cloud-based system significantly cuts down recruitment time and costs, while offering customizable features for enhanced visibility and efficient tracking.

??In a webinar discussion with Matt Pavelek, Background Investigator from the Washington County Sheriff's Office, we explored how his agency navigated the unprecedented challenges of hiring during the pandemic. One of the biggest "aha" moments came when Matt explained how adopting Guardian Alliance? right before COVID-19 hit was a game-changer. As their background investigators transitioned to remote work, having a centralized, cloud-based database became essential. Imagine trying to manage pre-screenings remotely with paper files! ?? It was also interesting to learn that the Washington County Sheriff's Office uses Guardian for background investigations across the board – not just for sworn officers, but for all employees, contractors, and even county personnel who need unescorted access to their facilities. They started with sworn deputies and expanded as they saw the positive impact.
