Chief Anthony Mata described plans to bolster backgrounding and supervision after controversies encompassing officer drug and alcohol abuse and on-duty sexual misconduct.
while working a domestic disturbance call. An off-duty officer was also arrested in Hayward on suspicion of drunk driving following a car collision, and reports surfaced about an officer becoming the subject of an internal investigation after he was accused of giving a meth pipe to an informant.
“I can’t guarantee there will never be another officer that violates your trust,” Mata said. “But I will guarantee that as your police chief, and the leader of this great organization, I will rid our ranks of individuals in the manner we have recently seen.” By and large, the chief was elaborating on plans announced earlier this month to increase random drug and alcohol testing among the sworn staff, which along with the background and screening proposals, were endorsed by the police union and Mayor Sam Liccardo, who stood behind Mata at Wednesday’s news conference.
Citing a lack of connection among the officers involved in the alleged misconduct, Mata and Joseph outlined a wide net of initiatives aimed at catching problems among officers that includes performing deeper dives into applicants’ backgrounds. Neither Mata nor Joseph would say exactly how effective the new initiatives could have been in preventing the scandals that preceded them.
