Dr. Borodkin: At the beginning of the online questionnaire, we ask you to list positions, and in this case, basically, before it says, what do you most enjoy? So you write the same question. Lieutenant Barrett: I am referring to the PRADCO questions that we fill out that are like 40 -something questions. Dr. Borodkin: Those are just the sentence completions. There are all other pieces before that. Lieutenant Barrett: I understand that, but I am saying these questions here were answered, same questions, same answers. Again, my concern is this, Doctor, is that you told me that I needed to recognize myself and to put down my faults, which I did, which I feel. And now you are penalizing me for it. I feel, too, it is really extreme. It is way too far on the other spectrum. I understand. But if your assessor were to tall: to me about what am I critical on, what am I direct on, I could explain to them that I am critical about police reports that come up, the officers not giving the correct information in the reports. I am critical about the supervisors that are supposed to be reading over these reports that are not, and just signing them and putting them through and missing a lot of information. It is important that these reports have the correct information in thein because they go to the detective bureau, they go to prosecutors, they go out to the media. And if we have mistakes in those reports or they are not complete, that makes us look bad. I am direct with some of my officers. Not all the time. It is at points where they need to be direct. If I am trying to help an officer along and they are arguing, there is time to be a director with somebody. You have to be direct and firm. But in all those circumstances, being critical or direct, I always turn it into a learning experience for them. You can go over, and I would ask anybody in this room to go over to the police department and talk to anybody. I am easy to get along with. I talk to people. I greet them with the day. I check on their needs, what is going on. I joke with them. We have pleasant conversations. Asst. Lav Director O'Malley: Madam Chair, if I may? This is cross-examination. Commissioner Flannery: Yes Asst. Law Director O'Malley: This is cross-examination. Commissioner FIannery: Correct. Asst. Law Director O'Malley: The doctor drove here from Akron to answer questions. I think the questions should be put and answered.
