Fairow, I also own the decision to remove him,\u201d Schaaf said. \u201cI firmly believe that when you make a mistake, you need to own it, and act quickly to correct it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>At a Wednesday afternoon press briefing, the mayor said, \u201cI need to be confident that our chief is 100 percent effective in making cultural changes\u201d in the way that the department operates.<\/p>\n<p>Schaaf admitted that \u201cthe process was very rapid\u201d when she hired Fairow in the wake of Whent\u2019s departure and said, \u201cI own the mistake and I\u2019m not trying to hide.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Schaaf said she had worked with Fairow during his 21 years with the Oakland Police Department, where he rose to the rank of captain before joining BART five years ago, and said he had \u201ca good reputation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The mayor said she wants to bring in someone from outside of Oakland to serve as interim chief while she conducts a search for a permanent chief but said she won\u2019t rush to bring in an interim chief.<\/p>\n<p>Schaaf said she wants Figueroa to return to being assistant chief because \u201cI like the current command structure\u201d in the department.<\/p>\n<p>Schaaf said she expressed her concerns to Fairow on Tuesday and said he was \u201cvery professional in his understanding of the situation\u201d when she told him that she was firing him.<\/p>\n<p>Fairow is set to return to his position as Deputy Chief with the BART Police Department.<\/p>\n<p>Schaaf was clear when she spoke that she could not and would not talk about the reasons behind Fairow\u2019s firing.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI want to begin by reminding everyone that California law prohibits me from discussing personnel information regarding a police officer, and that law extends to police chiefs,\u201d said Schaaf.<\/p>\n<p>Struggling with the current sex scandal within the police department, Schaaf stated she had no choice but to make the move.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are dealing with disgusting allegation that upset me greatly, and I believe that the leadership at this time is critical in order to rebuild confidence that the culture of this department does not tolerate unethical behavior, sexual misconduct or lying,\u201d said Schaaf. \u201cThese things are very important to me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While Fairow did not speak to the media, his current boss may have revealed to the reason behind his ouster.<\/p>\n<p>BART Police Chief Kenton Rainey released a statement welcoming Fairow back Wednesday evening.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe BART Police Department welcomes

We did a thorough background check on Ben at that time.<\/p>\n<p>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.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Addition sources have corroborated that the extramarital affair was what spurred Fairow\u2019s dismissal by Schaaf after less than a week <a id=\"itxthook2\" class=\"itxtnewhook itxthook\" href=\"http:\/\/sanfrancisco.cbslocal.com\/2016\/06\/15\/oakland-mayor-schaaf-removes-interim-opd-chief-fairow\/#\" rel=\"nofollow\"><span id=\"itxthook2p\" class=\"itxtrst itxtrstspan itxtnowrap\"><span id=\"itxthook2w\" class=\"itxtrst itxtrstspan itxtnowrap itxtnewhookspan\">on the job<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"itxthook2icon\" class=\"itxtrst itxtrstimg itxthookicon\" src=\"http:\/\/images.intellitxt.com\/ast\/adTypes\/icon1.png\" \/><\/span><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The\u00a0sudden\u00a0change in department leadership is just the latest challenge facing the force in the wake of <a href=\"http:\/\/sanfrancisco.cbslocal.com\/2016\/05\/12\/underage-sex-scandal-rocks-oakland-police-department\/\">a sex scandal involving an underage prostitute<\/a>\u00a0who goes by the name Celeste Guap and numerous officers.<\/p>\n<p>Last week, Police Chief Sean Whent <a href=\"http:\/\/cbsloc.al\/1TYHbH3\">abruptly resigned from his position<\/a>.
