10/03/2023 Oral Board Raters for Police Officers--Policy/Procedure

Jena, City of Bakersfield

In efforts to assess and implement best practices in the selection of sworn police officer we would ask that you answer the following:

  1. Does your agency have any policy or guidelines on the composition of oral board raters for the hiring process?  For example, do you require external raters outside the agency; raters from other city departments; diversity of panel members, etc.?

 

If you do have written policy, rules and/or guidelines please provide.

Hello, we have panels of three, with one of the individuals being a “community panel member”, and yes, we have diversity of the panel both in gender and race, ethnicity, etc.
