EIIP Flashcards
What is the purpose of the Early Identification and Intervention Program (EIIP)?
To identify and respond to department members who display signs of a decline in work performance or other problematic behavior
EIIP is a non-disciplinary approach separate from Internal Affairs Bureau processes and employee disciplinary action.
What does IAPro data include?
- Statements of complaint (SOCs)
- Primary indicators (PIs)
- Use of force (UOF) incidents
- Citizen contacts (CCs)
- Citizen review board (CRB) complaints
- Canine incidents
- Vehicle accidents and pursuits
- Firearm discharges
- Rifle deployments
- Alerts
- Significant event reports (SERs)
IAPro data is used to monitor problematic behaviors and performance indicators.
Define ‘problematic behavior’ in the context of EIIP.
Conduct defined as bias indicators, including CCs, UOF incidents, motor vehicle accidents, and behaviors indicating a decline in work performance.
Additional indicators include sick leave abuse and negative interactions with the public.
What are considered significant events?
- Involvement in an officer-involved shooting (OIS)
- Witnessing violence
- Responding to mass casualty events
- Loss of a family member
- Personal divorce
- Being a victim of a crime
These events may adversely affect a member’s well-being.
What is the ‘threshold’ established by EIIP?
A measure based on IAPro data points assessed by the number of incidents documented in IAPro.
This includes monitoring problematic behavior and productivity.
What are the primary responsibilities of EIIP?
- Identify problematic behavioral patterns
- Provide resources such as training and counseling
- Monitor IAPro data and problematic behavior
- Review arrest paperwork and incident reports
- Conduct briefings with the chain of command
- Provide recommendations for training and support
EIIP aims to be proactive in addressing issues affecting work performance.
What happens when a member surpasses an EIIP-established threshold?
An alert is generated in IAPro and sent to Blue Team, initiating the EIIP alert process.
The member’s dashboard in Blue Team displays their status in the EIIP alert system.
What do the colors on the Blue Team dashboard indicate?
- Gray: No identified issues
- Orange: One incident away from threshold
- Red: Threshold reached or surpassed
Only the member and their chain of command can access the dashboard.
How often are EIIP-established thresholds reviewed?
Annually, with adjustments made as needed by the EIIP analyst and approved by the IAB commander.
Some thresholds, like firearm discharges, have different review periods.
What is the role of first-line supervisors in the EIIP alert process?
- Review Blue Team dashboards monthly
- Respond to EIIP alerts within 14 calendar days
- Consult with second-line supervisors
- Meet with members to discuss alerts
They must also document the alert response and forward it appropriately.
What is the goal of performance reviews conducted by EIIP?
To identify a member’s decline in work performance and encourage well-being through early supervisory intervention.
Performance reviews include analytics on IAPro data, behavior, productivity, and work history.
What is the purpose of Significant Event Reporting (SER)?
To monitor members’ exposure to significant events and proactively address their mental health and well-being.
SER is a confidential, non-disciplinary process that tracks significant events.
True or False: It is solely the supervisor’s responsibility to identify significant events affecting members.
False
Members must also notify supervisors of significant events that may affect their well-being.
What actions should a supervisor take upon becoming aware of a significant event?
- Notify the member of Peer Support services
- Log the event in Blue Team
- Complete required fields in the report
They must ensure confidentiality and proper documentation.
What does EIIP monitor regarding Significant Event Reports?
- Incoming SERs
- Notifications made by the member’s chain of command
- Confidentiality of the SER process
The EIIP analyst reviews SER thresholds annually.
