A  police psychologist who works in-house at your local department providing training, counseling and evaluations. The police chief is concerned about the ability of Officer Daniels to perform as a patrol officer and has asked you to perform a fitness for duty evaluation.

Officer Daniels is a decorated patrol officer who has been working for the local police department for seven years. In the last several months several community members have filed complaints against Daniels for a variety of reasons including the use of excessive force, sleeping on the job and rude behavior. In the past two weeks, the police chief has received information that Daniels has been slow to back up other officers when called for assistance and has arrived to work late, looking disheveled. When Daniels started as a police officer you met a few times to discuss some family issues Daniels was experiencing but that was over five years ago.
