The Maryland State Police took action against Psychology Consultants Associated in June after an investigation showed the firm’s president, psychologist Kenneth Sachs, and his employees and contractors were completing evaluations of officers’ mental stability in 15 minutes instead of the 45 minutes required by the state contract, according to documents obtained by The Associated Press.
Experts say 15 minutes is far too short to adequately conduct psychological assessments, either for police applicants or officers seeking to return to active duty.

Cops have paid mental doctors? It's all coming out now. I want to know if our local depts do this. If so, I want to see every report on every officer in this county. It is public information. They are public employees and this is paid with public money. We have a right to know !
This is like an oxymoron. A psychologist determines if a police officer is fit for duty? REALLY????? Brother!!

Yeah right... You are the same cop hater as the first poster.
I'm the first poster. And I assure you we are not the same. Why would we be cop haters? For wanting to know what cops aren't fit for duty but still pound streets? Our money pays for these officers. Our saftey. We have a right to know who may be a loose cannon. These records aren't private information. Are you scared officer that the public will see that many of you officers should not be officers at all? Like you say..... Got nothing to hide or done nothing wrong you have nothing to worry about! You'll be on your way!
Unlike SPD who tells the dept psychologist what they want them to find on the person. HIPPA and malpractice lawyers dream.
