SF Hired Cops Without Psych Exams, Incomplete Background Checks, Audit Finds
The San Francisco Standard ^

Posted on 03/21/2023 12:39:39 AM PDT by 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.

So they had missing citizenship, psychological eval, fingerprints for background checks, etc. but they state found they were good to go, even after SFPD refused to hand over the required information.

So much corruption in Government.

I remember watching a Dragnet episode from the late 60’s where Friday and Gannon thoroughly checked out a applicant.
I guess now it is just “report on monday”.

Hiring a police officer is a serious business...City of San Francisco apparently did not take it seriously...

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

A person cannot work in the CA public schools without submitting his/her fingerprints...

Yes, and we have a silent Senator that was just elected, that is still hidden in a Psychiatric Ward. And his wife and kids are still hidden in Canada?

But they say, he is being informed daily about legislation?

Still More #ComDem_Insanity!

San Francisco is run by one of the Biden/Mexican Drug & Sex Trafficking Cartels.

They are very short on cops.

Many are retiring.

They gave them all the ‘short form’ application:

Question 1:Do you hate conservatives?

Question 2: Do you agree to do anything we tell you?

Congratulations! If you answered ‘Yes’ to these questions you’re well on your way to becoming another proud member of the “Jack-Booted thugs” brigade.

Not hiring police.

Hiring street thugs to do the government work.

Maybe they’ve been forced to recruit from the homeless bum jungles.

Only two things matter:

- What color are you?

- Do you have a pulse?

‘At this point in time, what difference does it make?’
What really counts is diversity. Are they of the correct race, ethnicity, sex/gender, sexual perversion, political party?

That’s what happens when you “defund” the police. You get low-lifes.

Yes. But they wouldn’t be doing what they are doing if not for Biden’s policies.
