SF Hired Cops Without Psych Exams, Incomplete Background Checks, Audit Finds

The San Francisco Standard ^

[matt04]

San Francisco hired cops without documenting their citizenship or whether they graduated high school—requirements at the time of their hiring—state records newly obtained by The Standard show.

Additionally, several officers worked for more than a year before the department screened their psychological preparedness, another hiring requirement, for a job that gives them power over life and death.

California’s law enforcement licensing agency, Peace Officer Standards and Training, identified those among myriad other issues while looking at all Bay Area police hires since 2016.

The regional audit last year came after an Alameda County sheriff's deputy killed two people, prompting questions about the psychological fitness of police officers and sheriff's deputies across the Bay Area. After finding irregularities in mental health screenings at the Alameda County Sheriff’s Office, the licensing agency expanded the review to every law enforcement outfit in the Bay Area.

The state said it found nothing to disqualify hundreds of Bay Area law enforcement officers, including the 530 San Francisco cops reviewed in the audit.

...

In all, the state tally shows:

-Thirty-three officers who worked for a year before SFPD gave their fingerprints to the state

-A dozen who were on the streets for a year before SFPD put them through psychological evaluations

-Fifteen San Francisco officers lacked proof of any psychological screening

-Eight officers did not have proof of citizenship

-Eight had missing or incomplete high school or college transcripts

-Two did not have FBI clearance

...

And more than two months since the state’s deadline to hand over the missing background check records, SFPD said it’s still crafting a response.

Missing fingerprints? How could a person be hired as a cop if his/her fingerprints are not checked in the database?

My guess is they would not have "enough" black officers if they followed the process rigorously, so they decided equity was more important.

[matt04]

That’s kind of my thinking as well. It sounds like some, not all, all the officers were missing the necessary paperwork/investigations. I bet they needed or wanted more diversity and did what was necessary to get it. The fact that even two months after they were caught, they still refused to turn over the information, as required, to the state speaks volumes about what they have been doing.

There are over 50 cities in the USA with the presence of Mexican Cartels.

10 or so in CA. Mexico is controlled by cartels.

Biden lets Cartels run our southern border.

Therefore, the USA is basically 'owned' by the cartels.
