Introduction [1] Chief Ranger xXBoomblast339Xx applied for an administrative hearing under s. 1.3 of the Administrative Procedure Act on February 26th, 2023. [2] The application named W_15K, an employee of the Ridgeway Parks Service as the respondent. [3] The application sought to dishonourably discharge W_15K for two major violations of departmental policy, with him having violated the General Standards Policy and In Game standards policy. [4] All factual allegations are assumed as true, having gone uncontested by the respondent, and are reproduced in Part II. II. Findings of Fact [5] On January 31st, 2023, it was reported to the Ridgeway Park Service Internal Affairs Unit that Park Ranger W_15K had been arrested for First Degree Murder and Attempted Murder. [6] On January 31st, 2023, Park Ranger W_15K was subsequently placed on Administrative Leave and an investigation was launched. [7] On January 31st, 2023, Park Ranger Syneths began the investigation and sustained the summary disposition of the investigation. [8] On January 31st, 2023, Park Ranger Syneths completed the investigation and sustained the following violations on the Final Disposition: [a] Violation of Handbook “General Standards Policy” [b] Violation of Handbook “In-Game Standards Policy” [9] It was recommended by the Internal Affairs Unit that Park Ranger W_15K be dishonourably discharged from the Ridgeway Park Service. [10] The recommendation was approved by Superintendent robloxwolf123 and an Administrative Hearing Report was filed. III. Findings of Law and Policy [11] It is a violation of the Ridgeway Parks Service’s general standards policy for a member of the department to engage in illegal activities while as a member of the Ridgeway Parks Service. Through the actions of the respondent, they had actively violated this by committing illicit activities and receiving a criminal record for their actions. [12] Through acting in an illicit manner, causing widespread danger to many residents of Ridgeway County, W_15K misrepresented the ideals of the Ridgeway County Parks Service and as a result of this fact violated the in-game conduct policy. [13] Respondent W_15K is subject to the Ridgeway Parks Service Handbook. [14] I find that the acts of violently going rouge as an on duty peace officer were done illegally and with ill intent. IV. Recommendations [15] The applicant recommends termination of the respondent’s employment in the Ridgeway Parks Service in the nature of a dishonourable discharge. [16] The applicant is entitled to take any action up to and including a dishonourable discharge. Dated at the City of Palmer, in the State of Ridgeway this 6th day of March, 2023.
