AWOL Toronto Police officer will keep his job

TORONTO - If only everyone had such understanding bosses: A Toronto traffic cop will keep his job despite going AWOL for almost four years after he was asked to take a breathalyzer test when he reported to duty allegedly smelling of alcohol.

At the long-delayed disciplinary hearing for Const. Duane Boodle, Acting Insp. Peter Callaghan recommended that he be fired.

“The prosecutor questioned whether someone who refused to work for this Service for three-and-a-half years and who refused the lawful orders of his superior officers should still be allowed to be a police officer,” noted Insp. Richard Hegedus in his decision Friday.

“The prosecutor submitted that the public would think it was absurd and in any other employment context Const. Boodle would have been dismissed a long time ago.”

That’s for sure.

We had a councilman walk out of a meeting and disappeared for weeks and weeks. And everyone was looking for him. Then he showed up one day and said he went into the woods to think about stuff... And resumed his seat. WTH?
