The Superintendent provided the Board with proof of Respondent’s conviction and sentence in the federal court. In addition, the Superintendent put into evidence the letter from the Illinois Law Enforcement Training and Standards Board decertifying Respondent as a law enforcement officer, as well as the statutory basis for his decertification. His conviction and decertification bring discredit upon the Department and constitute a failure to promote the Department’s efforts to accomplish its goal of promoting respect for the law and those sworn to enforce it, thereby violating Rules 2 and 3 of the Department’s Rules of Conduct.
