CINCINNATI — Future Cincinnati firefighters will start undergoing psychological evaluations again before being hired as part of changes city officials hope will reduce the number of firefighters in trouble and increase public confidence in the department.
The testing was stopped years ago, Fire Chief Robert Wright said this afternoon, but will resume with the next recruit class, expected to start in the middle of next year.
The chief, City Manager Milton Dohoney, City Solicitor John Curp, Human Resources Director Hilary Bohannon and Assistant City Manager Scott Stiles have started meetings with firefighters, a plan they will continue until meeting with all 840.
