1 83. As with the Corporal test,when the preferred candidates passed the written test,their scores <br /> 2 <br /> would later be artificially inflated on the internal interviews to ensure high placement on the final eligibility <br /> 3 <br /> list. <br /> 4 <br /> 5 84. Ms. Ferrer further announced a new change in that the times and dates of the testing <br /> 6 components would now be "self-scheduled"by the candidates themselves. This was a departure from past <br /> 7 <br /> practice in which the test times for each candidate were randomly(and therefore fairly as possible)generated <br /> 8 <br /> 9 by computer.Now candidates would be notified via email when they could log on and register for time slots <br /> 10 to take the test/interview.Naturally,this led to widespread speculation as to whether the notifications would <br /> 11 be emailed simultaneously or if certain candidates(i.e.,"the Valentin camp", specifically Lizardi and MET <br /> 12 <br /> team members)would receive it first and therefore schedule times most convenient for them. As this was <br /> 13 <br /> 14 also kept a complete secret, speculation ran rampant about the widespread and increasing unfairness of the <br /> 15 process. <br /> 16 85. In the run-up to the written test, the names of the panel members were finally announced. <br /> 17 <br /> The names were announced so that candidates could no longer speak with them or seek guidance from them <br /> 18 <br /> 19 about the promotional process.The Practical Exercise panel consisted of Lieutenants Mat Sorensen and Gil <br /> 20 Hernandez and Sergeant Gary Couso. Sergeant Couso was the current MET Sergeant and all three were <br /> 21 closely affiliated with the SWAT Team. Moreover, all three were considered to be within "the Valentin <br /> 22 <br /> camp"and highly approved by him. The Enhanced Resume Assessment panel consisted of Lieutenants Joe <br /> 23 <br /> 24 Marty and Roland Andrade and Sergeant Ricardo Diaz,all three of whom were considered to be within"the <br /> 25 Valentin camp." <br /> 26 86. On January 25, 2023, KACHIRISKY completed the written test which consisted of 90 <br /> 27 <br /> questions.Unlike previous tests,this test contained very few questions related to Legal Sourcebook case law <br /> 28 <br /> and search and seizure issues. The test primarily concerned policy and procedure matters. <br /> 21 <br /> KACAIRISKY v. CFFY OF SANTA ANA CASE No. <br /> COMPLAINT <br />
