"The BART Police Department welcomes back Deputy Chief Ben Fairow to his role commanding the Support Services Division.
We are confident in Deputy Chief Fairow’s ability to fulfill his important role, and we are confident in our due diligence in hiring Ben Fairow in 2011. We did a thorough background check on Ben at that time.
Ben has shared information with me that, while he was married, he had a personal relationship with a consenting adult more than a decade ago, none of which precludes him from serving as a sworn law enforcement officer or as one of my Deputy Chiefs.
