While “Intervention” and “Warning” are sometimes used interchangeably, the latter has gradually fallen out of favor. Initially, EIS platforms were called “Early Warning” systems. Furthermore, in recent years agencies have been using EIS to identify officers worthy of recognition for exceptional service. Similar to the communication and tactical improvement brought about by two-way radios, an EIS extends your supervising staff’s ability to respond to officers in need of support. However, a truly modern EIS blends seamlessly with your department, informing and amplifying the impact of your frontline supervisors rather than replacing them. Still, the idea of trusting an algorithm to interpret officer data can be off-putting to those who prefer a human touch. It also provides a greater depth of insight into an agency’s overall health, including officers deserving of recognition, and individuals who have been exposed to a critical number of stressful events.Īn EIS is intended to be an objective, smart, and automated mechanism that supports the health, safety and efficacy of your officers. This enables them to provide insight that can be used to address an officer before they have an incident that could require disciplinary action. Unlike classic EIS platforms, a modern EIS is configured to capture and analyze indicators beyond the simple mechanism of triggers and thresholds. However, using triggers to identify officers in need of additional support has since been found to create situations where EIS platforms are used as hindsight-driven, punitive tools, if they’re used at all. The emergence of modern problems leads many agencies to reevaluate their current EIS and consider investing in a modern one.įar from being a means to discipline, EIS platforms were intended to be non-disciplinary by design. How they look has barely kept up with other technology, and the way they work hasn’t been updated since the 70’s. They’ve found that little has changed in traditional EIS platforms since the initial days of trigger-based systems.
However, in recent years, agencies have sought a more proactive and preventative solution that can identify officers before they’re involved in a career-damaging adverse incident.
You’re no doubt familiar with Early Intervention Systems (EIS) used by law enforcement agencies to identify off-track behavior in officers.
