Dallas Police Chief Halts Field Sobriety Training Because Minority Recruits Keep Failing

“If there’s a direct correlation between the person giving the test and the [African American recruits] failing, that person needs to go,” Judge says.

On Tuesday, Brown responded to those concerns by ordering police-academy staff to suspend the field-sobriety training while the department ensures it is consistent with National Highway Traffic Safety Administration guidelines.

“We will continue to review all of our training to ensure our high standards are not compromised in any way and that we make necessary adjustments to continually improve,” Brown said in a statement.
