Even though Caplan told us that he suffered from PTSD and had childhood onset of bipolar disorder after growing up in an abusive family, when Dr. Carole Busick examined him in May 2012, her conclusion was that he would “approach problems in a cool and dispassionate manner" and put facts over emotion, and that he was mentally fit for duty. As Annab's lawsuit claims, Busick should have noticed red flags about Caplan even before she “purportedly” examined him: Not only was he fired from 12 of the 21 jobs he held in five years, but he was also kicked out of a law enforcement academy for acting hostile toward teammates, ignoring safety standards during traffic stops, jumping the chain of command multiple times, and lying.

Caplan, who was on psychiatric medication for a mood disorder when Busick evaluated him, told us he lied during that evaluation too, saying, "I am more than smart enough to fool any test.”

Both Busick and her husband, Don Busick, also a psychologist, came under fire last year for failing to properly evaluate and screen thousands of peace officers. They had apparently been skipping face-to-face evaluations with the peace officer candidates, which are required by law. Last week, each pled to ten years of deferred adjudication and each of them will pay more than $8,700 to four police agencies that have had to retest dozens of officers. They will also retire and give up their licenses.
