some departments have hired people to do psych evals. one dept found that the psychiatrist maybe spent 20 minutes with hirees. another found that their psych was doing the evals over the phone. it was just a way for those clinics to make a few quick bucks.
we have a serious issue with who is hiring and training. we have mental health issues that are largely being ignored. we have troops returning with ptsd and nothing or next to nothing is done. we have police on the streets for years-what is done for their mental well being? over time, when one is confronted daily with the worst of society, that will have an effect.

we owe it to both the police and the citizenry to get this fixed.
