The Problems with Dr. Pete’s report(s)???

• NO PRECIPITATING EVENT
• Subjective/One-Sided Input
• Hard of hearing?/Inept?/or Biased?
• Made Assumptions/Mind Reader?
• Ignored Science/Personality Disorders
• Ignored the Whole Picture
• Member of IACP-International Association of Chiefs of Police (Management Organization)
• Let MPA/APA Membership Lapse/Ethics requirements
• Marketed Self as “Police Psychologist”- There is No “Certification” in “Police Psychology”
• Dual Relationship/Accepted Client- Not always wrong
• Accepted Large Amount $ for Performing

Dr Pete’s Primary Income 1996 came from doing Fitness For Duty Evaluations/Pre-Employment Evaluations

Dr. Pete sold his “practice” in 2003 – He advertised that the only requirement to take over his practice = Licensed Psychologist

WHAT’S WRONG WITH THIS?

• IMPROPER REFERRAL
• Ignored numerous other reports
• City Declined Pete’s original suggestion for referral
• Patricia and Renee’ still not back to work at GRPD
• Tactic has been used across the country
• National FOP/Union ignoring this problem
• Psychologists accepting these referral$

Patricia had the following evaluations (7)

• Dr. Pete: Grand Rapids City Psychologist-> unfit
• Dr. Tony: “Friend of Pete” Grand Rapids Hired Psychologist-> unfit

• Dr. Larry: Plaintiff Hired Psychiatrist -> Fit
• Dr. Mark: Plaintiff Hired Psychologist -> Fit
• Dr. Mark: Plaintiff Hired Psychologist -> Fit
• Dr. Nancy: Plaintiff Hired Psychologist -> Fit  (evaluator for CHP and LAPD)
• Dr. Dave: Plaintiff Hired Psychologist -> Fit

Renee’s (9)

• Dr. Pete: Grand Rapids City Psychologist-> unfit
• Dr. Tony: “friend of Pete” Grand Rapids Hired Psychologist-> unfit

• Dr. Larry: Plaintiff Hired Psychiatrist -> Fit
• Dr. Mark: Plaintiff Hired Psychologist ->Fit
• Dr. Mark: Plaintiff Hired Psychologist -> Fit
• Dr. Nancy: Plaintiff Hired Psychologist ->Fit (evaluator for CHP and LAPD)
• Dr. Dave: Plaintiff Hired Psychologist -> Fit
• Dr. Patrick: Appellate Attorney Hired -> Fit
• Dr. Tom: Spectrum Health Pre-employ-> Fit

I am certain that Patricia and I are the most “shrinked” and “certified sane” individuals in the State of Michigan.  Why would GRPD ignored all the additional evaluations?

We received copies of the tests we took for “Dr. Pete” during discovery. When they were analyzed it was found we had passed those too.  “Dr Pete” just didn’t use the results from the tests he gave us!?  Now why would a “Police Psychologist” do $uch a thing?

So even though we are certified sane, we lose the state case…
