Martin v. City of Los Angeles CA2/3
Carlos Martin is a sworn peace officer with the Los Angeles Police Department (Department or LAPD). The Department selected Martin to participate in its Air Support Division (ASD) command training program and placed him in the bonus position of Police Officer II+6 while he trained to become an LAPD helicopter pilot. After extending Martin’s training time to address recurring shortcomings, the Department deselected him from the bonus position primarily due to deficiencies in aeronautical decision making and situational awareness. Martin challenged his deselection in an administrative appeal. After a two-day evidentiary hearing, the hearing officer upheld the Department’s decision.
