Aviles, Aaron v. Boston Police Department 1/22/26

The Commission affirmed the decision of the Boston Police Department to bypass a candidate for original appointment to the position of permanent full-time police officer based on his poor driving history, judgment and conduct.

Joseph, Emmanuel v. Boston Fire Department 12/18/25

The Commission allowed the bypass appeal of a candidate seeking appointments as a Boston firefighter as the Boston Fire Department was unable to show that the candidate lacked a serious interest in the position, the state reason for bypass.

Darmofal and Sniezek v. Town of Fairhaven & HRD 12/18/25

The Commission ordered the Town of Fairhaven to rectify its failure to comply with civil service law in appointments and promotions made in the Fairhaven Police Department (FPD) and the Fairhaven Fire Department (FFD) on the Town’s erroneous assumption that it had removed the FPD and FFD from the applicability of c.31.

Fardin, Samuel v. City of Lowell 12/4/25

The Commission dismissed the bypass appeal of a candidate seeking appointment as a permanent reserve firefighter in the City of Lowell as he was not bypassed for appointment since all candidates appointed were ranked above him.
