“The person was off on paid leave while the investigations took place, and a lengthy amount of time after timelines had expired, management came forward with findings,” Thomas said.
Thomas said that the officer was fired.
News Center 7 learned that the person was Officer Jeremy Campbell.
Campbell was one of six officers credited with putting a quick end to the Oregon District Mass Shooting.
Thomas said the union has filed a grievance.
He said the union has to insist the city follow work rules that were negotiated at the bargaining table.
“Whether or not the employee was guilty of what they did or should have been disciplined, the city didn’t follow their rules in taking action against their employee,” Thomas said.
Union leaders said that an arbitration hearing about the grievance they filed on behalf of the officer took place a couple of weeks ago, and they are awaiting a written decision.
