The Commission allowed the bypass appeal of a candidate seeking appointment as an Intermittent Reserve Police Officer in Woburn, as the candidate was well qualified, and traces of political influence were discovered in the decision-making process.
The commission dismissed the appeal from a state trooper challenging a forfeiture of 10-days of accrued vacation time for insubordination. The trooper also claims he is a victim of disparately harsh discipline and argued that assignment of his case to Internal Affairs and not a local investigation was discriminatory.
