Question: An officer with over 21 complaints was reinstated by arbitration; how can citizens appeal that?

Chief McClelland: the process and procedures that an officer is under regarding complaints is state law. One of the rights is to appeal the discipline decision by arbitrator. If the arbitrator upholds my decision, the officer stays fired. Or the arbitrator could reverse it and they could get their job back. It is binding and their is no appeal.
