Specifications include, but are not limited to: The Tarrant County Sheriff’s Office Internal Affairs Division (IAD) has identified the need for a case management software system to assist in the management of all IAD cases, the generation and management of complaints, and provide for the electronic submission of forms (use of force forms, pursuits, firearm discharges, etc.). It should provide for the ability to produce reports (statistical and otherwise), forms, and charts based on user specified criteria, and have an extensive search capability into all areas of the system. In addition, the system should be able to provide early intervention notices on officers based on user specified criteria. The software system should also allow for the tracking of case deadlines and supervisory approval of investigations, and contain robust user access controls to prevent unauthorized access to areas of the system by nonauthorized personnel. The Internal Affairs Division manages and conducts investigations into complaints of officer misconduct, to include managing low level complaints and conducting high level investigations resulting in the termination of employees.
