The Human Resources Board reinstated a Marine Corp veteran to the Chicago Police Department after he was disqualified by the department's human resources decision. In the case, J.H. received a less than honorable discharge after he left his post without receiving proper authorization. At trial, J.H. convinced the Board that his decision to leave his post was mitigated by the fact that he left to take care of his ailing mother who had suffered a serious injury. In addition, J.H. was found not guilty of the charge alleging he falsified his CPD application. 13 HRB 058 (2014)
