The Blue Arrow Program aims to prepare prospective applicants for the hiring process at a time when SDPD faces staffing shortages
for officers who enlist recruits, as well as bonuses for officers from other agencies who join the San Diego Police Department.
Lt. Steve Waldheim, of the department’s Backgrounds and Recruiting Unit, said about 50 percent of applicants don’t make it past a lengthy questionnaire early in the application process. The questions focuses on the applicant’s background. “We need people and we want them to come back, and we want them to come back without doing the same thing that disqualified them in the first place,” Sgt. Travis Easter, of the Backgrounds and Recruiting Unit, said.The session focused on financial red flags. Instructors from the department’s backgrounds unit told the participants that the department runs a credit check during the hiring process.
After the lecture, the participants split up into four groups, each tasked with considering a hypothetical financial dilemma. One scenario forced a group to ponder whether bankruptcy is ever acceptable.
