Additionally, ESS is responsible for ITD's involvement in other consent decree mandated developments, including the Complaint Management System (CMS), Use of Force System (UOFS), and the Pedestrian and Vehicle Stop System. TEAMS was the Department's original Risk Management System and includes a variety of sub-systems that are combined to respond to queries regarding Department employees.
The Portable Officer Data Device System (PODDS) falls under ESS and is the development of system designed to capture personal characteristics such as gender and race/ethnicity of individuals stopped by officers, for the purpose of tracking potential cases of racial profiling and field interviews using a Personal Desk Assistants (PDA) and wireless printers. The PODDS are being implemented Department-wide.
