Early Warning System (EWS)
The Parsippany-Troy Hills Police Department utilizes an Early Warning System (EWS), which enables management to monitor officer conduct. The EWS is ultimately designed to identify any patterns, practices or trends of inappropriate behavior or conduct by any officer of this department. An effective EWS can assist in identifying and remediating problematic officer conduct that poses a potential risk to the public, to the department, and to the officer. The goal of the EWS is to allow for supervisory intervention or remediation before it develops into a disciplinary issue.
