Law Enforcement Services
OMAG Law Enforcement Services provides Oklahoma municipalities with essential resources, expert training, and dedicated support to help law enforcement agencies operate effectively and safely. From policy development and risk management to cutting-edge training programs tailored to real-world challenges, our services empower officers and administrators to protect their communities with confidence.
Lexipol
OMAG currently offers its members free access to police policies and training on these policies through Lexipol policies and Lexipol Daily Training Bulletins (DTBs). Lexipol policies meet current constitutional and state law requirements and are designed to reduce law enforcement liability. OMAG has identified certain Lexipol policies that OMAG expects its members to incorporate into their police manual.
Due to the drastic increase over the last few years in both the cost and number of law enforcement claims, in the future, an OMAG member's use or non-use of Lexipol policies and DTBs may impact that member's premium, deductible, or participation in the OMAG General Liability Plan.

LELA
OMAG offers an intensive training series on law enforcement liability for select law enforcement personnel around the State: the OMAG LELA Training Series. The purpose of the OMAG LELA Training Series is to provide CLEET-accredited, in-depth training on common and emerging legal issues facing law enforcement in Oklahoma.
The OMAG LELA Training Series is typically held twice a year and each series consists of three training sessions, each consisting of traditional classroom training and roundtable discussions, utilizing case law, body cam, and other materials from real-life incidents.

Background Checks
Thorough background investigations are essential for hiring qualified, competent, and trustworthy officers in any Police Department. A well-structured background check helps ensure that new hires meet the highest standards of integrity, professionalism, and capability, ultimately strengthening public trust and department effectiveness.
To support our member agencies, OMAG has compiled a set of sample forms, letters, checklists, and questionnaires to streamline the background investigation process. These resources are designed to help departments conduct comprehensive and efficient screenings while adhering to best practices and legal requirements.
