A Denver Civil Service Commission hearing panel upheld the firing of a police officer who was found in contempt of court by a judge handling his divorce case.
The three-member panel decided that former Manager of Safety Charles Garcia was right when he found that Kenneth Z. Briggle engaged in conduct unbecoming an officer by failing to pay taxes owed in a joint filing with his wife.
In settling the divorce, Briggle agreed to pay those taxes.
Briggle appealed Garcia’s decision to the Civil Service Commission. He can appeal the panel’s decision, dated Dec. 8, to the commission or to the District Court.
