Chicago Police Applicant R.R. was disqualified from the application process of the Chicago Police Department for reasons of: criminal conduct, criminal conduct involving drugs, as well as for false statements and omissions. R.R. was disqualified for admitting during his polygraph examination that he stole a chap stick, and a pair of gloves when he was in high school; and for failing state in his personal history questionnaire that he ingested edible marijuana at a party. A hearing was held, and the Hearing Officer concluded that the City failed to prove that R.R. violated Background Standards. R.R. was truthful and credible at his hearing as he testified that he was unaware he ingested edible THC until after he ate it. The Hearing Officer concluded that the two incidents in R.R.'s background were not substantial enough to bar him from the application process . R.R., a college graduate with an excellent work history and no criminal background, was recommended to return to the eligibility list. 15 HRB 133 (2016)
