By a 4-1 vote, bypass appeal allowed. DOC's review was inconsistent with the state's anti-discrimination law and did not constitute a fair and thorough review of the Appellant's background for the position of Correction Officer I (CO I).
The Commission dismissed the bypass appeal of a candidate seeking appointment to the Taunton Fire Department, as the City had reasonable justification to bypass him for his repeated driving infractions and a recent arrest with an attendant Chapter 209A order.
The Commission adopted the recommendation of the DALA Magistrate and allowed the Appellant's appeal as the BFD has not shown that the Appellant failed to meet the residency preference requirements.
The Commission affirmed the decision of the Boston Fire Department to bypass a candidate for firefighter based on his inconsistent answers provided during the hiring process.
The Commission affirmed the decision of the Boston Police Department to bypass the Appellant for appointment as a police officer based on her failure to be forthcoming with BPD investigators during the application and review process as well as the numerous past and continuing relationships with known criminals.
