The Story
Background
Annapolis is Maryland’s state capital, a compact city with a fast-moving daytime population. The department runs a career operation with specialized capabilities and a strong focus on training consistency.
Challenge
Training documentation and record keeping created friction across too many systems, logins, and manual steps. The training division needed ISO-ready records without placing more work on company officers.
Solution
Annapolis built assigned training, simple company drill entry, pending approvals, morning QA, and flexible attendance capture in First Due so members and officers can record training in one workflow.
Results
Company officers can document drills in about two minutes, leadership reviews pending approvals in 15–20 minutes each morning, and training records are structured for ISO recertification.
