Correct Answer:

Early intervention systems (EIS) are a data management tool that allows administrators to record and monitor certain behaviors with the objective of identifying potentially problematic patterns of behavior and taking the necessary steps to correct these behaviors. Problematic behaviors may include citizen complaints, use of force incidents, motor vehicle accidents, lawsuits against an officer, or missed court dates. It should be noted that when dealing with use of force, some officer may be more likely to use force than others due to the shift they work or the area they patrol. EIS is not intended to be indicative of bad behavior but rather as an alert to supervisors and administrators to take a closer look at the behavior in question, as it may be signs of problematic behavior or may simply be a symptom of the officer's work environment.

Brutality is a conscious and venal act committed by officers who usually take great pains to conceal their misconduct. Unnecessary force, on the other hand, is usually a training problem, the result of ineptitude or insensitivity. Excessive or unnecessary force may be a good-faith police mistake, while good faith plays no part in brutality.
