Dallas County Sheriff's Dept's training academy at risk of being shutdown.
An exclusive NBC 5 investigation reveals a crisis inside the Dallas County Sheriff’s Department.
The Dallas County Sheriff’s Training Academy is at risk of being shut down by the state because last year’s recruits did so poor on the state’s basic licensing exam.
NBC 5 Investigates obtained records from the Texas Commission on Law Enforcement, which certifies Texas Police Academies, that indicate only 25 percent of last year’s recruits passed the exam on the first try.
Their records show 27 recruits took the exam at the academy in 2013 but only seven passed on the first try. The state requires 80 percent of recruits pass on the first attempt and every police academy in Texas did that last year, except Dallas County who had the worst percentage in the entire state.
NBC 5 Investigates learned the state put Dallas County’s academy on probation last fall, which means they are at risk for losing their license.
“They need to know that if they don’t get this rectified, and they don’t fix this, there will be no Dallas Sheriff’s Office Academy,” said Kim Vickers, executive director for the Texas Commission on Law Enforcement.
Dallas County Sheriff Lupe Valdez told NBC 5 Investigates she still doesn’t know why last year’s classes did so badly.
I'm sure it is racist,homophobic and misogynistic to point out that the sheriff should be on top of shit like this.
The dreaded staff disease has struck again.Is she so uncurious as to why her deputies are bottom of the barrel scum.
Off the top of my head I can remember a road rage incident where a dude got beat down severely, multiple wife beatings, serial perp shootings under dubious circumstances I could go on but you see where I'm going.
“It’s my responsibility and I depended on someone to take care of it and they didn’t,” Valdez said.
Well that's awful white of her to take responsibility while throwing an anonymous hero under the bus.
Give a name Lupe or it didn't happen.What a dirtbag.
Maybe those dudes searching for the runaway cop could find her some honor.
Let me spell it out for her.You fucked up you trusted a cop.
