ESF report details flaws behind Waldron case and tragic shooting
The SUNY committee found uneven rules and poor training in the Onondaga Community College police academy program from 1976 to 1980. It faulted miscommunication, excessive college control over personnel decisions, and delays in responses that hindered Waldron’s career path and contributed to a despondent state of mind before the Forster shooting. The report calls for clearer authority, better stress management, and stronger auditing of trainee programs.
