Police Officer— Academy Graduate/Lateral Recruitment Informational (J. Grimes, P.D.) Jeremy Grimes advised the Commissioners that recruitment for Police Officer— Academy Graduate/Lateral will open soon. The department is looking at ways to streamline the testing process; this would accommodate a larger number of candidates from other agencies who are looking for an opportunity to apply for Bakersfield Police Department. He explained that in the past this testing process has taken several months requiring most lateral applicants to take time off from their current jobs to participate in each phase of testing. The streamlined testing process would be condensed into a single day; the day would be comprised of the written exercise and physical agility in the morning, and the oral interview would take place the same afternoon. The test will be scheduled for two dates and applicants will be able to choose a day that works best for them. This will eliminate applicants having to take multiple days off from their current job to participate in testing. Mr. Lucas asked for where these applicants come from. Jeremy Grimes explained that agencies like California City will be experiencing layoffs soon and politics at other agencies may trigger an increase of lateral applications. He said officers who have been at their agency for one year should have their POST Basic Certificate making them eligible to lateral to the Bakersfield Police Department. Assistant Chief Terry said officers from other law enforcement agencies stop in at the front desk or they call the Training office to inquire if BPD is accepting applications for laterals. He said the streamlined testing process will facilitate a broader group of candidates who want to leave agencies and they will be able to come here and get things done relatively quickly. He also said this new streamlined testing process was the result of collaboration between Jeremy Grimes and the Human Resources Department. Mr. Anderson asked about the frequency of lateral applicants failing the physical agility testing and Jeremy Grimes said he is not aware of any lateral candidate who has been unable to pass the physical agility test.
