Introduction [1] Captain iiDark_Law applied for an administrative hearing under s. 1.3 of the Administrative Procedure Act on January 30, 2023. [2] The application named tankseb, an employee of the Palmer Police Department as the respondent. [3] The application sought to dishonourably discharge tankseb for one violation of department policy enumerated at s. 502.1 of Palmer Police Department Standard Operating Procedures. [4] Applicant Da_BeastlyMan filed a brief under s. 3.1 of the Employee Desertion Act in support of an expedited ruling in the absence of the respondent. [5] I am satisfied that the respondent has deserted their duties, failed to respond to the applicant’s communications, and failed to respond to the notices to appear before the administrative court. Accordingly, I will omit the hearing. [6] All factual allegations are assumed as true, having gone uncontested by the respondent, and are reproduced in Part II. II. Findings of Fact [7] The Palmer Police Department requires an officer who plans on resigning or transferring to serve at least 14 days in the department and requires to give formal notice to a captain+ or they may be subject to a dishonorable discharge. [8] Officer tankseb has left all ridgeway-related servers. [9] The officer did not contact a captain. III. Findings of Law and Policy [10] It is a contravention of Palmer Police Department policies to resign or transfer without giving proper formal notice. [11] The respondent contravened s. 502.1 of Palmer Police Department Standard Operating Procedures when he failed to give proper formal notice before leaving post. [12] Respondent tankseb is subject to the Palmer Police Department Standard Operating Procedures. [13] I find that the act of leaving a Discord server or Roblox group was intentional. IV. Recommendations [14] The applicant recommends termination of the respondent’s employment in the Palmer Police Department in the nature of a dishonourable discharge. [15] The applicant is entitled to take any action up to and including a dishonourable discharge.
