The appellant police constable appealed a disciplinary sentence reducing his rank from first class to second class constable for one year.
He had pleaded guilty to neglect of duty after being found asleep in his police cruiser outside his patrol area.
The appellant argued the sentence was excessive, inconsistent with previous cases, and contrary to the prosecutor's recommendation.
The Ontario Civilian Police Commission dismissed the appeal, finding the Deputy Chief considered all relevant matters and properly exercised his discretion in imposing the sentence.
