Opinion
November 13, 1984
Determination confirmed and proceeding dismissed on the merits, without costs or disbursements.
The determination as to petitioner's guilt is supported by substantial evidence (see 300 Gramatan Ave. Assoc. v State Div. of Human Rights, 45 N.Y.2d 176). Furthermore, since police departments are quasimilitary organizations requiring strict discipline (see Matter of Bal v Murphy, 55 A.D.2d 26, aff'd. 43 N.Y.2d 762; Matter of Keogh v Dolce, 84 A.D.2d 579), the penalty imposed was not so disproportionate to the offenses as to be shocking to one's sense of fairness (see Matter of Pell v Board of Educ., 34 N.Y.2d 222).
We have examined petitioner's other contentions and find them to be without merit. Niehoff, J.P., Boyers, Lawrence and Eiber, JJ., concur.
