The Santa Barbara Police Department has retained the Sintra Group to conduct the investigation into the allegations against a police department employee raised in the LA Magazine Article. Sintra Group Professional Investigations was founded in 2002 and specializes in public safety administrative and pre-employment background investigations. The firm is owned by Steve Bowman, a retired Asst. Police Chief and attorney at law, and staffed by honorably retired law enforcement personnel with years of investigative experience. During this time the firm has assisted dozens of governmental agencies throughout California in personnel and workplace investigations.
The Department will have no further comment on the investigation until it is completed. At that time, we will release the maximum amount of information allowed. We anticipate the investigation being completed in no more than six weeks, barring any unforeseen complications.
