PAP.5.8.180 Off-Duty Misconduct

Employees shall not engage in off-duty misconduct which is deemed detrimental to the LCO-CHC. While it is impossible to predict every detrimental situation, the LCO-CHC may determine that off-duty misconduct is adverse to the LCO-CHC, because it is serious in nature; is at odds with an employee's job duties; or is notorious and has the potential to discredit the LCO-CHC. Any arrest shall be reported to the employee supervisor and the Human Resource department within 72 hours. Any arrest shall be subject to review by the department director, and may include discipline including a suspension or termination depending on the determination and severity of the allegations leading to an arrest. An arrest and conviction related to misconduct shall be subject to discipline which may include termination.
