CPD CANDIDATE RESTORED TO ELIGIBILITY; NO VIOLENT TENDENCIES OR INDEBTEDNESS PROVEN
E.M. appealed her removal from the eligibility list for the Chicago Police Department due to claims that she possessed violent tendencies and had indebtedness issues. Under direct examination, our client testified that she had an arrest as a minor that was dismissed and she was also unaware that an ex-boyfriend had named her in police reports made out over a decade ago. Upon cross examination, the City's investigator testified that E.M. had taken steps to clear any indebtedness and had provided the documentation to the City. As a result, the HRB found that E.M. should be restored to eligibility, noting that the evidence demonstrated she was a valued employee who possessed an excellent work record and work ethic, as well as being an individual who was actively involved in the community. 16 HRB 086
