After concluding that the Boston Police Department (BPD)’s review of a candidate for police officer was flawed and incomplete, the Commission overturned the BPD’s decision to bypass the candidate for appointment and ordered that he be reconsidered in a future hiring cycle.
The Commission affirmed the suspension of fire alarm operator with the Boston Fire Department for one-tour after finding he was responsible for a lapse in judgement that caused a delay in responding to a fire emergency in a 12-story residential building in down-town Boston.
