SANTA ROSA, Calif., July 27, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Miller Mendel welcomes the first law enforcement agency in Sonoma County, California to its eSOPH background Investigation software system. The Santa Rosa Police Department joins over 60 other public safety agencies across the nation that have transitioned pre-employment background investigations to the eSOPH system. The Santa Rosa Police Department plans to use eSOPH to conduct at least 100 pre-employment background investigations in their first 12-months.
eSOPH, which stands for electronic Statement of Personal History, has been used by city, county and state police agencies to conduct over 60,000 pre-employment public safety background investigations. It is specifically designed for the public safety pre-employment background investigation process, with public safety agencies using the system estimating a time savings ranging from 30 percent to 60 percent per investigation, and a significant reduction in the use of costly administrative resources such as paper, ink, postage and filing space. By transitioning to eSOPH, the Santa Rosa Police Department joins the California Highway Patrol, Riverside County Sheriff's Department, Sacramento County Sheriff's Office, San Joaquin County Sheriff's Office, Orange County District Attorney, Sacramento County District Attorney and many other public safety agencies in the eSOPH network.
In addition to taking advantage of eSOPH's industry-leading standard functionality, the Santa Rosa PD is also utilizing the optional, integrated smart fax service. eSOPH's fax service automatically reads and then routes documents received via fax from other law enforcement agencies to the correct applicant file, attaches the received documents to the correct reference within the applicant file and notifies the investigator. Background Investigators no longer have to manually scan and upload faxes received in hard copy.
Santa Rosa PD will also be using eSOPH's interface specifically designed in consultation with California Police Officer Standards and Training (POST) to offer their POST law enforcement consultants a more efficient and streamlined method to review the background files of hired Peace Officer and Dispatcher applicants.
