Oakland Official's Daughter Taking 4th Shot at Passing Police Academy

"Erin Breckenridge, the 24-year-old daughter of Oakland City Administrator Deborah Edgerly, is scheduled to make an unprecedented fourth attempt at completing the 24-week academic and physical training program. She has failed to complete the training requirements in two academies and walked out of a third after just one day -- while managing to keep a job with the department since her first try more than two years ago. Her work in personnel, bookkeeping and recruiting and her repeated attempts to become a sworn officer smack of nepotism, given her mother's position as the city's highest-ranking non-elected official, and has created considerable resentment toward both of them among the rank and file."
