Will An Audit Help Clean Up The Canton PD In Light Of Read & Birchmore Cases?

Could a police department allegedly cover up the murder of a young woman to protect its own officers? The death of Sandra Birchmore, originally labeled as a suicide, has since unraveled into a chilling narrative implicating members of the Canton Police Department. Allegations suggest that one officer, Matthew Farwell, began grooming her when she was just 12 years old, while others allegedly exploited her after she turned 18. With an audit now underway to dig deep into the department's practices, one wonders: will this probe uncover the full extent of misconduct, or will more disturbing secrets stay hidden in the shadows?

Psychotherapist and author Shavaun Scott joins the discussion, offering insight into the psychological screening methods—or lack thereof—used for officers, and whether such assessments could ever truly flag someone capable of such heinous behavior. Are manipulative tendencies and moral failings detectable in pre-employment tests, or can some simply slip through the cracks? Should those entrusted to protect our most vulnerable, like school resource officers, face the same rigorous evaluations required of nuclear plant workers?

If psych testing could save lives, why don’t we use it more? And more importantly, would it even work?
