Process Overview: Easy 3-Step Disclosure Workflow
1) Initial Disclosure
Initial disclosure with no Service Record of Discipline (SROD) found can be completed in a few seconds.
2) Professional Standards Review
If an SROD is found, Professional Standards staff are notified for review and determination of relevance.
3) Secondary Disclosure
Secondary disclosure can be completed with a click of a button. Every step in the process is recorded and logged.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Can Swift McNeil support police agencies of different sizes?
Yes. Agencies of any size can benefit from technology-based solutions that are simple to use and reduce administrative burden for police officers and Professional Standards staff.
Is the Swift McNeil process expensive to implement?
No. Swift McNeil uses a per-officer fee structure designed not to burden small agencies with fees that outweigh efficiency and accuracy gains.
How does Swift McNeil differ from existing McNeil disclosure processes?
Swift McNeil is designed to reduce data entry time, auto-generate agency-customized disclosure forms, and provide a secure, permission-based workflow with a full audit trail. It is purpose-built rather than a paper-based process, Access database, or enhanced spreadsheet.
How does Swift McNeil benefit front-line officers?
It is simple and fast to use, reducing administrative burden while protecting the privacy of discipline records and ensuring disclosure occurs only when legally required with need-to-know access.
How does Swift McNeil benefit Professional Standards staff?
It helps reduce the number of times staff must “touch” a record, supports more efficient and accurate disclosure when required, reduces inadvertent/mistaken disclosure risk, and provides a more secure and auditable process.
What organizational benefits may interest police leaders?
Swift McNeil can reduce front-line administrative burden (freeing time to serve the public), protect members’ privacy interests, reduce workload in Professional Standards units, and support cost-effective, accurate, timely, and auditable disclosure to Crown prosecutors consistent with agency policies.
