From the Reno Gazette Journal:
Former Nevada Capitol Police Chief Tom Navin is suing the Nevada Department of Public Safety, saying he was wrongfully terminated for failing a physical.
Navin, in his district court suit filed this week, said he was legally exempt from the push-up portion of the test because he was recovering from shoulder surgery.
Navin, who’s seeking $15,000 plus damages, originally injured the shoulder during the push-up test last year. He completed jumping, running and sit-up tests.
He was fired March 15 after state officials said he was unable to complete his physical to maintain his peace officer certification. Officers must pass the physical within a year of being hired. http://www.rgj.com/viewart/20130427/NEWS11/304270057/Nevada-capitol-police-chief-sues-over-firing
There is no requirement for no push ups to be police officer: http://leg.state.nv.us/NAC/NAC-289.html#NAC289Sec025
Whoever fired the police chief just cost the state of Nevada thousands of dollars.
Sandoval, was that you or was it a Democrat?
