First Sign Early Intervention vs. the Competition
Traditional EIS offerings rely on often inaccurate threshold-based triggers to flag off-track officer behavior. These false positives and false negatives result in inefficient use of resources, time, and money — all while negatively impacting officer morale. First Sign Early Intervention incorporates decades of evidence-based research, robust information sources, and sophisticated analytics to identify officers truly in need of intervention.
