As there was no error or significant factor overlooked by the Commission in affirming the decision of the Boston Police Department to bypass a candidate for appointment to police officer, the Commission denied the candidate’s motion for reconsideration.
The Commission affirmed the decision of the Boston Police Department to bypass a candidate for police officer based on his failure to disclose all information regarding workplace discipline on his application and for providing contradictory information related to his employment with a tow company.
The Commission amended a 5-day suspension for the demotion which was urged by the Dracut Housing Authority in regard to a maintenance supervisor with management troubles and unprofessional conduct. The Commission noted the Appellant was not given a chance to correct his behavior to the necessary standards.
The Commission concluded it did have jurisdiction to hear the appeal of a Dracut Housing Authority employee who was demoted. The Commission interpreted the term “involuntary separation” in provisions that covered housing authorities at G.L. c. 121B, §29 to also include demotions.
