Chicago Police Applicant N.F. was disqualified from the eligibility list for the position of probationary police officer for conduct indicating dishonesty and for other conduct that may render the Applicant unsuitable for employment. N.F. disclosed on his pre-polygraph form that as a college freshman him and a few friends took some folding chairs with the school logo on it. N.F. also disclosed that while working for the school's Gym Crew he followed policy by taking $5 from the cash box for lunch, and deducting the time from his timecard to reflect repayment of the $5. N.F. did not explain to the polygraph examiner what the practice was for the cash box. N.F. was also disqualified for "other conduct," which included N.F. having knowledge that one of his five roommates smoked and sold marijuana. A hearing was held was the hearing officer found that N.F.'s conduct could not properly serve as the basis for disqualification: the money was not stolen, but was a common practice, and reimbursed; and the theft of the folding chair was more in the nature of a prank than a crime. N.F.'s disqualification for knowledge of his roommate's use and sale of marijuana could not fairly serve as a reason to disqualify N.F. No issues were deemed to have risen to the level of criminal activity. The hearing officer concluded that N.F.'s personal qualities should make him an excellent candidate for the position. 15HRB112 (2016)
