Annapolis, MD.    Anne Arundel County Public Safety departments recently joined the long list of public safety agencies around the country that have implemented Miller Mendel’s eSOPH, the #1 pre-employment background investigation software. eSOPH will be used by the county police department, the county sheriff’s office, the country fire department, and the county’s detention facilities department. 

eSOPH, which stands for electronic Statement of Personal History, has been used by city, county and state police agencies to conduct over 50,000 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. 

Anne Arundel County Public Safety expects to process approximately 1,200 pre-employment background investigations over a 12-month period using the time and resource saving eSOPH program. The eSOPH transition project was led by Assistant Personnel Director Jackie Atkinson.

eSOPH has created hiring efficiencies for public safety agencies across the United States, including California, Oregon, Nevada, Washington, Idaho, Utah, Colorado, Arizona, Missouri, Louisiana, Georgia, Washington, D.C., and Maryland.
