Hillsboro, OR – The Hillsboro Police Department recently joined the long list of public safety agencies around the country, including several agencies in Oregon, that have implemented Miller Mendel’s eSOPH, the #1 pre-employment background investigation software.
eSOPH, which stands for electronic Statement of Personal History, has been used by city, county and state police agencies to conduct over 60,000 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.
The Hillsboro Police Department expects to process around 100 pre-employment background investigations over a 12-month period using the time and resource saving eSOPH program. The eSOPH transition project was led by Sergeant Wendy Hess.
eSOPH has created hiring efficiencies for public safety agencies in the western United States, including Oregon, California, Nevada, Washington, Idaho, Utah, Colorado and Arizona. Agencies in Missouri, Louisiana, Georgia, Maryland, Washington, D.C., and beyond have also implemented eSOPH.
Other agencies in Oregon are already using eSOPH include the Oregon Department of Corrections, the Clackamas County Sheriff’s Office, the Milwaukie Police Department, the Scappoose Police Department, and the Vernonia Police Department.
