Finding 48
MPD does not examine aggregated EIP data to identify potential patterns and trends across the organization.
MPD should use EIP to examine patterns of behavior such as employee average activity and to conduct comparisons across officers, units, areas, and other appropriate factors.
EIP benchmarks include complaints and allows for basic peer analysis. MPD is retraining supervisors on the functionality of the web-based application to increase utilization and improve understanding of the use and value of data available. Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) 450.50(F) – Personnel Investigations requires this analysis: “The commanding officer of the Internal Affairs Division shall cause a review of personnel investigations every six months to identify patterns of allegations concerning members of the department. If a pattern of allegations has been identified, the Internal Affairs Division shall notify the member’s commanding officer. The member’s commanding officer shall review the identified pattern of allegations with the member and determine if training or further action is required to address the pattern of allegations. The member’s commanding officer shall document the course of action deemed appropriate to address the pattern of allegations in AIM.
