The Commission affirmed the decision of the Boston Police Department to bypass a candidate for appointment as a permanent, full-time police officer based on the candidate’s undisputed – and recent – poor judgment in impermissibly assisting an individual with taking a learner’s permit exam.
The Commission denied the Appellant's bypass appeal. The Appointing Authority had reasonable justification to bypass a candidate for appointment as a police officer who provided implausible, inconsistent and incomplete responses about his residency and employment history during the application process.
