What is the scope of incidents monitored by the Early Warning System?

• A. Only use of force
• B. Use of force, vehicle crashes, vehicle pursuits, citizen complaints, and administrative investigations
• C. Only citizen complaints
• D. Use of force and vehicle crashes

Answer: (D)

The Early Warning System focuses on high-risk incidents that most clearly signal risk patterns in officer performance. In this context, it monitors use of force events and vehicle crashes. These two categories provide concrete, safety‑critical data that can show trends warranting early intervention, such as coaching or training.

Citizen complaints, administrative investigations, and other incident types are typically handled through separate processes or systems, so they aren’t included in this EWS scope. That’s why the option listing use of force and vehicle crashes best fits the intended scope.
