California JPIA to Offer STOPit Solutions to Member Agencies

The California JPIA will soon offer members a new resource, STOPit Solutions. Launching at the end of February, STOPit Solutions will allow participating Authority members to protect and maintain the integrity and well-being of their agency staff.

STOPit Solutions is designed to allow anonymous reporting in the workplace for unsafe, harmful, or non-compliant behaviors. The program’s purpose is to deter inappropriate behaviors in the workplace, including, but not limited to, harassment, discrimination, threats, compliance risk, theft, fraud, and mental health concerns. In addition to incident reporting, STOPit allows agencies to monitor reported incidents closely and provides resources to manage and resolve incidents.

“The STOPit Solutions program is designed to empower staff members at our agencies to report concerning behaviors or actions anonymously,” said Management Analyst Abraham Han. “It also allows administrators within an agency to be aware of difficult situations and proactively think through solutions before those situations become bigger or more problematic.”

Han notes that in addition to its many benefits, STOPit will offer immense support to administrators. Participating member agencies will be responsible for designating multiple in-house administrators to monitor reported incidents. In addition, STOPit will also provide certified response agents to monitor incidents and answer telephone hotline calls. The certified response agents will allow administrators to escalate issues quickly and effectively. Additionally, STOPit will provide members with a means for documenting steps taken when (and after) an incident is submitted.

To help Authority members learn more about STOPit solutions and how they can effectively implement the program within their agencies, the Authority will host a webinar on March 1 at 1:00 p.m. If you want to learn more about the webinars and the program, please email STOPit’s Director of Partner Relations Richelle Stanz or email Abraham Han.
