This cop couldn't get hired because he repeatedly failed the psychiatric exams was then hired by Visalia PD. I wonder if this is why DeAngelo ended up in Exeter?
Below is the link to an article about him if anyone wants to read it in it's entirity. I took out some sentences for the sake of brevity.

San Luis Obispo police officer placed on paid leave, again
May 12, 2020
Controversial San Luis Obispo police officer Josh Walsh is on paid administrative leave while he is allegedly investigated.
In Sept. 2019, Walsh shot and killed a dog while responding to a possible burglary.
Even though Walsh and another officer quickly determined the burglary report was inaccurate, just a resident fixing a broken window, Walsh appeared frightened of the resident’s dog.
Walsh ordered Riley Manford to control her “* dog,” Manford said. “I told him he was a friendly dog and asked him to put his gun down so I could get Bubbers.”
Before Manford could reach her dog, Walsh fired three shots at Bubbers. Two shots struck the dog and one bounced off the concrete.
While he was removed from duty during an investigation into the shooting, he was later placed back on the street.
Walsh’s time in law enforcement has been marred with allegations of harassment and abuse of power, according to a report written in 2014 by private investigator Mike Brennler, who was hired by several local attorneys concerned with Walsh’s alleged inappropriate behavior.
During his investigation, Brennler interviewed Walsh’s aunt, Rene Knight, who reported her nephew had a history of harassing and “sadistic” behaviors. Knight said Walsh would torment his disabled grandmother, holding her small dog above his head while he pulled the dog’s fur causing it to yelp in pain, according to the report.
Knight also described Walsh’s numerous attempts to become a police officer, which he repeatedly failed because he could not pass the psychiatric exams. Even so, in 2005 Walsh was hired by the VISALIS POLICE DEPARTMENT. A resident of the area later filed a formal complaint of abuse of power and harassment against Walsh.
Since securing a job in San Luis Obispo, multiple suspects have alleged the officer was heavy-handed during their arrests.
In 2016, Brennler presented his report on Walsh to incoming Chief Deanna Cantrell, who appears to have taken no action.
