In the Matter of Brian Ambroise

Syllabus

The Commission acted arbitrarily, capriciously, and unreasonably for failing to credit the Department of Corrections' view that the sustained charges against the officer undermined prison security and touched directly at the heart of his ability to obey the protocols pertaining to his employment at a correctional facility. The Commission's decision to impose a six-month sanction is disproportionate to the serious and highly concerning offenses found in this record.
