40 minutes ago when someone asked about online testing. They said you have to go to the facility. So you dont to have worry about that. We would get up dates all the time. If im no. 9 on the list and they have 10 people take the test today. When its refreshed, they plug in with my list. We continue to get the updated list all the time. I can be 10 today and next week 19 because some people slid in between me. Thats the way its going to happen. My concern with that is that some people are great test takers. Doesnt mean they are going to be great Police Officers. Its a different skill. I, like the chief, the best San Francisco officers are San Francisco residents. People that have been in San Francisco and been in the city. In some of our Academy Classes weve had lawyers with incredible credentials. I have worked with officers that have geds and they are the best officers. The test is scenario base. Its not just a written test. Its not a scantron test. Its actually, they show a traffic s
The requirement . They come in annually and they look at every background packet of every applicant that we hire that graduates from the academy. If the applicant does not graduate from the academy, the point is moot, they never look at that candidate. However, if they graduate from the academy, they look at the packet and its separated by tabs and they look at things like citizenship verification, medical, that can only be 1 year old or no more than oneyearold and psychological evaluation that can not be more than 1 year old and they look at areas that we have to comply with and there is not a lot of wiggle room or we get dinged which go to the chief. This rolling testing would that put us in position where we dont have these list that where you got the top of the list and the bottom of the list. This rolling testing do we have the cream of the crop so to speak coming off the testing . How is that going to work . I was in the meeting with the vendor on this. To backup 40 minutes ago w
Significant increase in female applicants, upwards of 80 percent more. Its significant. We knew that was one of our weaker areas if you will and there was a focus on our recruiting effort. African american was low, they improved as well, not at the significance of the female applicants but we are seeing representation in both. Its still early. There is an improvement shown. Thank you. Thats helpful. Commissioner sherman. Thank you for the representation. Its great that you have female officers because im noticing 50 percent more of your psa are women than men. And that seems odd to me. Whats the as i heard this is sort of a farm club for the psa to be a farm club for the Actual Police officers job. So are we having an issue with translating women from the psa ranks to the officer ranks . I can only speak to the fact, we have 40 applicants to get the 15 that we hired to give you an idea of the numbers we ran into. There is an order for each candidate. Should a person be removed from the
For statistical purposes only. You might consult with a pipeline. Thats a good example. I cant get the Pride Alliance to tell me what the membership list is when they want to know that they are getting representation in the promotional process. Its hard for me to tell the players from the program and i have been told not to ask. Before we turn to this, a couple of questions for you. How many go through before we get one recruit in the academy. Whats the percentage . Commissioner, currently we have 1700 applicants on the 291. We have started that about 3 months go. We had about 180 applicants hired from triage all the way to someone being assigned you are looking at probably 1 in 10. Its about 10 percent likelihood of surviving the Background Information brought by post for any applicant . Correct. Those are pretty hard numbers. They are. Talking about the numbers and the annual audit. These requirements that the state requires in order for us to stay at the Police Department, how many
