State-Level Partnerships
Statewide Partnerships That Drive Outcomes
State-level partnerships are where agency performance is set at scale. Across the country, POST commissions, attorneys general, and corrections departments are accountable for outcomes: officer safety, certification integrity, use-of-force trends, and public trust.
Benchmark Analytics® partners with states to deliver those outcomes, grounded in research and proven across 2,500+ agencies in 42 states.
The POST Platform Built for What POST Actually Does
Benchmark Analytics® is the only research-based public safety management platform purpose-built for law enforcement. With over 80 million records in the system, Benchmark is the partner POST directors rely on to get certification right and keep their agencies focused on what matters most.
Four Ways Benchmark Solves What Other Platforms Can’t
Officer and Agency Administration
One officer profile, always whole
POST agencies process thousands of record actions a year, and each one should update the full profile, not half of it. Benchmark routes appointment forms through POST review and approval, then updates employment record, certification status, and expiration dates in a single automated workflow with a complete, timestamped audit trail. When a FOIA request arrives, the full personnel file generates on demand. No screenshotting 20 screens, no digging through network drives.
Certification Management and Reporting
Certification you can defend, calculated against your state’s statutes
Certification is the number one liability concern for POST directors, and no two states calculate it the same way. Benchmark automates compliance against your state’s specific rules; no manual cross-referencing, no monthly reports, no touching every profile by hand:
Results summarize by hours and category, filterable by agency, region and officer.
Academy Management and Training Delivery
Catch the pattern before it becomes a liability
Benchmark tracks academy performance at the cadet and learning-objective level, not just pass or fail. Each cadet record shows mastery against the competencies required for certification, with a full transcript tied to eligibility. When a learning objective is missed at scale or a curriculum element isn’t landing, POST leadership has the data to act before it becomes a certification problem.
De-Certification Investigations
Every case status known, without a phone call
De-certification involves statutory timelines, formal notices, evidence collection, and hearing coordination. Run on network drives and spreadsheets, no director can know where a case stands without calling the investigator. Benchmark manages it the same way it handles internal affairs: structured case management with incident collection, notice generation, and timeline tracking in one centralized, auditable workflow.
A Thought Partner, Not Just a Software Vendor
Benchmark’s team sits down with POST staff to map the workflow, surface the policy questions, and tune the configuration as state rules evolve. The platform is what we deliver. The partnership is how we get to the outcome.
The Outcomes Standard, Statewide
Standardizing Use-of-Force Reporting
State of New Jersey
In response to the Attorney General’s Excellence in Policing Initiative, Benchmark partnered with the Office of the AG and the State of New Jersey to build a first-in-the-nation statewide Use-of-Force Reporting state, giving leadership the data to analyze force trends, including racial disparities, and act on what the numbers show.
Getting Training and Certification Right
State of Colorado
In partnership with the Office of the Attorney General Department of Law, Benchmark was selected as the provider of record for Colorado POST’s training and certification management system, tracking the employment, training, and certification of an estimated 40,000 law enforcement personnel statewide.
Turning Data into Insight
State of Connecticut
Through the University of Connecticut Institute for Municipal and Regional Policy and the Connecticut Racial Profiling Prohibition Project, Benchmark was enlisted to centralize data intake and automate profiling analysis of traffic-stop data from roughly 125 agencies, representing over 1.3 million records.
Delivering and Tracking Training Statewide
State of Virginia
The Commonwealth of Virginia’s Department of Criminal Justice Services selected Benchmark to implement a customized statewide training management system, delivering and tracking training for more than 20,000 law enforcement personnel across the state.
Building a Stronger Data Infrastructure
State of Texas
Benchmark Analytics was selected by Texas 2036 to evaluate the systems, training, and processes of the Texas Commission on Law Enforcement (TCOLE). By identifying significant gaps in officer-data collection, the findings equip TCOLE to build data-driven strategies for long-term improvements in transparency, trust, and safety.
An Enterprise Approach to Personnel Management
State of Florida
The Florida Department of Corrections selected Benchmark for a systemwide, enterprise approach to personnel management, replacing multiple legacy systems with the Benchmark Management System® and First Sign® Early Intervention to track use-of-force incidents and Inspector General investigations, manage training delivery, and support officer wellness.
One Standard, Every Agency, Statewide
From certification integrity to use-of-force reporting to officer wellness, Benchmark gives states the research-based platform to set the standard for agency performance, and the partnership to deliver it
