Portland Crisis: With 120 Vacancies, Only 3 Out Of 60 Applicants Pass Police Background Check
Last
month TGP reported that internal politics and a pro-antifa attitude
inside the Portland Police Bureau leadership and city hall has led to an exodus of officers leaving the bureau,
either retiring early or going to work for other agencies in the area.
With 120 job openings, reports are now coming out that would-be new
hires are failing pass the introductory background check. Bigly.
The assistant chief told the City Commissioners that out
of more than 60 people who applied for public safety specialist jobs,
only 3 passed background checks. The biggest reasons for their
disqualification is past drug use or dishonesty in their application.Police applicants who have used marijuana in the past year don’t pass
a PPB background check because marijuana remains illegal under federal
law.
