In an article entitled “Panel seeks to speed LAPD hiring,”<\/a> David Zahniser of the Torrance, Calif. Daily Breeze<\/em> reports on the 24 September 2001 meeting of the Los Angeles City Council’s Public Safety Committee. Excerpt:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While written exams can be given to a roomful of applicants, lie-detector tests must be administered one at a time. As a result, the LAPD now faces a backlog of 500 to 600 officer candidates awaiting the exam — a factor that is causing some applicants to lose interest in the LAPD.<\/p>

The Public Safety Committee voted Monday to recommend that a private company be paid up to $615,000 to address that backlog. And it called for four new positions within the LAPD to handle the complicated tests on a permanent basis.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The private company to which the Committee recommended that a contract be awarded seems to be US Investigation Services, Inc.<\/a> For discussion of the Committee’s actions, and for the text of the meeting agenda, see the AntiPolygraph.org message board thread, “L.A.
