Chicago Police Applicant E.O. was disqualified from the eligibility list for the position of probationary police officer for criminal conduct, and violent tendencies regarding alleged domestic battery incidents. A hearing was held in this matter. The hearing officer found based on witness accounts that E.O. did not have violent tendencies, witnesses for the battery allegations were not credible, E.O. had no violent tendencies towards the mother of his child, had part-time custody of that child, and that even though one instance of domestic battery was shown more likely than not, it occurred 13 years ago when the applicant was a teen. One instance alone did not prove E.O. to show a propensity for violence. E.O. was immediately returned to the eligibility list. 15HRB116 (2016)
