Personnel says LAPD hiring pipeline speeded up; committee presses on safeguards and backlog
Summary
Personnel staff reported the median time from written test to psychological evaluation fell from 182 to 133 days following process changes; personnel and LAPD said standards were retained while legacy disqualifications were triaged and investigative capacity increased.
Personnel department staff presented the entry-level peace officer dashboard and a step-by-step account of improvements to the LAPD hiring pipeline.

She highlighted two large reductions: the personal history statement (PHS) review median fell from 26 days to 17 days and the field-investigation-to-final-decision median fell from 120 days to 83 days.
