Now this is a very good effort to prevent abuse. If it works should be a model for the USA. Do we really want police officers that are not stable out on the street? The job is certainly not easy. There are plenty of other jobs they can be moved to. we have known the percentage is small of the ones with severe issues and they put a bad name on the force.

Dozens of Officers Have Firearms Taken Away After Failing Psych Evaluations

Nearly 50 sheriff's deputies in one California county were relieved of key duties after receiving poor results from psychological evaluations.Dozens of Officers Have Firearms Taken Away After Failing Psych Evaluations

Based on tests dating to 2016, 47 deputies with the Alameda County Sheriff's Office were alerted on Friday that they would, for the time being, be stripped of certain law enforcement duties. That includes their authority to make arrests and wield firearms, KTVU News reported after receiving a copy of the letter sent to deputies.

The affected deputies, who were found to have scored a "D. Not Suited" on the evaluation, constitute a little less than 5 percent of the office's 1,000-member force. The deputies will retain their pay and benefits. In the letter obtained by KTVU, Sheriff Gregory Ahern promised to schedule new psychological evaluations for the deputies to "resolve this issue as quickly as possible."

Deputies will be able to "return to full duty status once you obtain a 'suitable' finding" upon taking a new evaluation. The new tests will be administrated by a psychologist from outside of the sheriff's office that is certified by the California Commission on Peace Officer Standards and Training, in order to ensure that the new results are trustworthy.

Lieutenant Ray Kelly, a spokesman for the sheriff's office, told KTVU that the audit was spurred by a recent incident involving Devin Williams Jr., a 24-year-old former deputy. Williams allegedly shot and killed a couple in their home after finishing a double shift at Santa Rita Jail, and had been carrying on a relationship with the wife. In the aftermath of the killings, sources claimed to KTVU that Williams had allegedly failed a psychological evaluation.
