The Personnel Assessment System, (PAS), is the Phoenix Police Department's Early Identification and Intervention System. PAS was originally created to make our employees more successful. It is a non-disciplinary system designed to identify possible problematic behaviors with employees, and to offer assistance using intervention options to modify those behaviors before discipline is required.

This program will also assist in reducing future police department liability using risk management programs and techniques already in place. The department also found that by using an extensive case management system within PAS, supervisor accountability is being held to a higher standard.

On January 1, 2004, the Phoenix Police Department fully implemented PAS and began to send out Intervention Reviews. Many department employees have received training, which is an ongoing process and crucial to the success of this program. PAS is available for review to all departmental employees.
