The appellant police officer appealed findings of misconduct (neglect of duty and deceit) and the penalty of dismissal imposed by a Hearing Officer. The misconduct arose from the appellant's failure to properly investigate a suspected impaired driver and his subsequent false explanations to his supervisor and Professional Standards Bureau. The Ontario Civilian Police Commission dismissed the appeal, finding that the Hearing Officer did not misapprehend the expert evidence, drew reasonable inferences from the facts, and appropriately weighed the dispositional factors in imposing the penalty of dismissal.
