LA Sheriff's Office Fucks Up, Admits To Hiring 80 DQ'd Officers

[Missing User]

[quote]LOS ANGELES — The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department acknowledged Tuesday that it hired about 80 officers who should have been disqualified because of problems in their backgrounds including criminal convictions and poor job performance.

Assistant Sheriff Todd Rogers said he was troubled by the hires and plans on "making some swift changes."

"People have to trust that we're hiring the best and brightest ... because of the awesome authority and responsibility our deputies have," he said in an interview. "Almost everything we do is predicated on public trust."

The admission came two weeks after found the agency hired dozens of officers from a disbanded county police force even though sheriff's investigators had found significant misconduct in their backgrounds. Internal agency files showed that jobs were given to officers who accidentally fired their weapons, had sex at work, committed theft, solicited prostitutes or falsified records.[/quote]

Oh. That makes more sense, honestly. I work in a county-level judicial system, I could see something like this happening here.

Title seems to imply that they fucked up by acknowledging their mistake, as opposed to them having did the right thing by acknowledging their fuck-up.

I always find it funny that the sheriff's office has the Acronym LASO over here.

It's fitting.

It's also incorrect; it's officially LASD, not LASO.
