You are the head of a police department that has a civilian review board that oversees hiring and discipline. You are about to hire a new officer. The background investigation has shown this individual to have a shaky background and an even shakier work history. Four years ago, this subject was arrested for resisting arrest and possession of cannabis.
The civilian review board appears to be very interested in hiring this individual stating that they feel this candidate deserves a second chance. Discuss if you feel this individual deserves a second chance. If you feel this individual should not be hired, how would you present your case to the review board?
