Chicago Police Applicant L.C. was disqualified from the eligibility list for the position of probationary police officer for violating the prior criminal acts section and conduct involving dishonesty. L.C. was disqualified for disclosing that he stole items of low value from local stores in between 2005 and 2013. These incidents were freely disclosed by L.C. and were not independently discovered by the Department. A hearing was held, and the Human Resources Board found that Corporation Counsel did not present sufficient evidence to sustain its burden of proof by a preponderance of the evidence that L.C. was not qualified for the position as a police officer. L.C., who graduated college at the top of his class, has no criminal background, and has an excellent employment history with the Department of Homeland Security, as immediately reinstated the eligibility list. 15HRB032 (2016)
