[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The Brevard County, Florida Sheriff’s Office that hired him didn’t do the most basic to due diligence. They accepted a letter from the HR Department and didn’t follow up with the PD at all. And if they had even googled him they would have found extensive reporting on the investigation that was already underway when he resigned.

They wouldn't have had to google him if we had a National Police Force Database that lists on-force shootings/killings, infractions, and each officer's employment history.[/quote]
That goes to the nitty gritty specifics of who should be in the database, because while he was under investigation nothing specific had been uncovered at that point and he hadn’t been arrested/indicted and certainly not convicted of anything. I ABSOLUTELY support a database of bad cops but this just shows you how it can be tricky setting it up. And FFS, google people before you hire them. I mean, come on.[/quote]
