The chief determined that Hernandez violated agency policies on safety practices, employee harassment and conduct, the Sentinel reported. Dowda also said Hernandez’s conduct met the “elements of the crime of battery.” But the woman told investigators she did not want to pursue a criminal investigation. The termination is still subject to an upcoming arbitration proceeding, in which the officer could try to get his job back. The union officer who represented Hernandez in the internal investigation, Gary Conroy, did not immediately return requests for comment.
