During January, I learned more on the interviewing process within the Unit. As I've said before, the Special Investigations Unit is made up of 6 members. these members include 5 detectives and 1 sergeant, there used to be 10 members but they've been since moved down to their current employees. recently a new member has been interviewed and hired by the unit early in the month. The turnover rate for new positions within the unit shifts every few years, changing based on if any member may have left or not. This new member has served for 4 years as an investigator within the Los Angeles Sheriffs Department and applied to this unit due to their proficiency in the field.
The interview was headed by the Sergeant, who asked the applicant about their experience as an investigator and what skills they have within the Units field of work. I wasn't around for the bulk of the interview, but learned from my mentor it went on for half of a shift. In the end, the Sergeant had decided that this new applicant showed enough promise within their expertise to join the unit. They are now taking over a spot that was removed because the previous detective had recorded conversations between others unlawfully and was discovered.
