but as a law enforcement officer you are held to a higher standard. If you are arresting people for drunk driving - how can you show up for work drunk. You know you drove there - did he recieve a dwi ? probably not. Did he even get tested ? He made a voluntary decision to come to work potentially put people around him in danger ( driving his car - carrying his weapon ). I am glad he turned this situation around and improved. But was he really the best and most qualified ? Maybe, I do not know. Hopefully he has learned from this experience and will become a better person and officer because of it.
I agree the wording of the prior comment is terrible
