47 sworn Alameda County Sheriff's Office deputies are now on desk duty after being told their pre-employment psychological evaluations scores are too low to allow them to continue as law enforcement officers.
Kelly said the 47 affected deputies had to be taken off the streets and out of the jail immediately.
Kelly said officials at the State Peace Officers Standards and Training Commission had previously said the sheriff's office could hire deputies as long as they did not get an"F" on the evaluations.
