The Alameda County Sheriff's Office says these scores were due to immaturity and the deputies will undergo a new round of screening.
The Alameda County Sheriff's Office said Monday that psychological testing standards have changed since 2016 and the 47 officers reassigned to desk jobs will undergo a new round of screening. They said the earlier scores were due to immaturity.
"A lot of young people out of college don't do as well on the psychological exam as someone who has much more life experience," said Alameda County Sheriff's Sgt. Ray Kelly. "This has nothing to do with substance abuse issues or mental disorders or diagnoses. We believe testing scores will go up based on the number of years of service"
Others believe this could call into question all of the testimony, arrests, and encounters these officers have had."This opens up Pandora's box of problems and issues for the sheriff's department," said Pointer. One officer has already been reinstated with a record of a later exam. The 46 others will be retested in the coming weeks.
"We are working hard to get them to the appointments and get the test done and return everybody back to full duty," said Sgt. Kelly.
