Finding 47

MPD's EIP policy does not sufficiently identify roles and responsibilities related to its EIP.

Please wait while we gather your results.

Recommendation 47.1

MPD should update the EIP policy to include standards and protocols for intervention including roles and responsibilities of the supervisor, commander, the member, and the EIP Coordinator; creation of an intervention plan; reporting and documentation requirements with associated timelines; and outcomes of the process.

Recommendation 47.2

MPD needs to train supervisors on how to create an appropriate intervention plan, how to report and document actions taken in support of the intervention meetings and EIP process, how to comply with timelines for the progression of the EIP process, and requirements for reporting the outcomes of the process. Engaged supervisors are important because they are the individuals most likely to identify early on problematic behaviors by patrol officers.

Recommendation 47.3

MPD should revise all of the benchmarks in EIP to have an alert notification trigger for any employee receiving three incidents in 90 days and over a rolling one-year period.

Recommendation 47.4

MPD should consider additional performance indicators for inclusion in EIP, including past performance evaluations, pedestrian and traffic stops, arrests, weapons qualifications, training history, lawsuit or claim filed, and any management and supervisory action taken pursuant to a review of EIP notifications.

Recommendation 47.1

Current:

MPD Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) 440- Early Intervention Program outlines responsibilities of the EIP administrator, supervisors and commanding officers. The Department Intranet has the Guidelines for an Early Intervention Meeting (form PI-56E) posted and available to all members. These guidelines provide supervisors with information on how to plan for an intervention meeting, outlines reporting and documentation requirements and required for outcomes.
