[QUOTE="_CY_, post: 2735855, member: 7629"] uh OOOO ... the dirt is flying ... ====== Sources: Supervisors told to falsify reserve deputy's training records April 15, 2015 Supervisors at the Tulsa County Sheriff’s Office were ordered to falsify a reserve deputy’s training records, giving him credit for field training he never took and firearms certifications he should not have received, sources told the Tulsa World. At least three of reserve deputy Robert Bates’ supervisors were transferred after refusing to sign off on his state-required training, multiple sources speaking on condition of anonymity told the World. The sources’ claims are corroborated by records, including a statement by Bates after the shooting, that he was certified as an advanced reserve deputy in 2007. An attorney for Harris’ family also raised questions about the authenticity of Bates’ training records. Additionally, Sheriff Stanley Glanz told a Tulsa radio station this week that Bates had been certified to use three weapons, including a revolver he fired at Harris. However, Glanz said the Sheriff’s Office has not been able to find the paperwork on those certifications. The sheriff’s deputy that certified Bates has moved on to work for the Secret Service, Glanz said during the radio interview. “We can’t find the records that she supposedly turned in,” Glanz said. “So we are going to talk to her to find out if for sure he’s been qualified with those (weapons).” Undersheriff Tim Albin was unavailable for comment Wednesday but in an earlier interview, Albin said he was unaware of any concerns expressed by supervisors about Bates’ training. The Sheriff’s Office has released a summary listing training courses Bates had been given credit for but have not released documents showing which supervisors signed off on that training. He rejected claims that Bates’ training records were falsified and that supervisors who refused to do so were transferred to less desirable assignments.
