Seems to take two times to get fired from APD for wrecking a department vehicle while drunk on duty. Must be nice to be unionized.KD5NRH wrote:Most places I've worked, if you're charged with DUI off the clock, you're not touching a company car until you're acquitted. If you're convicted, some of them had alcohol abuse programs they would put you through; others just never let you touch a company vehicle again. Conviction for (or admission of) DUI on the clock has been an immediate termination offense at all of them.

Re: DWI arrest while CHL is an automatic UCW...
Because it's not illegal for police to carry while intoxicated. A CHL holder can be charged under §46.035, Unlawful Carrying of Hangun by License Holder (subsection (d) to be specific); there is no equivalent offense for police.loadedliberal wrote:My question is why does this not happen to police, we have had a few APD officers arrested for DWI in the past few years and all were allowed to continue working and as far as I know were not charged with UCW even though I know of one case where he was on duty therefor presumably carrying a weapon.
