Opinion
March 13, 1992
Appeal from the Supreme Court, Onondaga County, Reagan, J.
Present — Callahan, J.P., Boomer, Pine, Lawton and Fallon, JJ.
Determination unanimously confirmed without costs and petition dismissed. Memorandum: In light of the seriousness of the charges against petitioner and the need to maintain police discipline and integrity, we find that the penalty of demotion of petitioner was not so disproportionate to the offenses sustained as to shock one's sense of fairness (see, Matter of Berenhaus v Ward, 70 N.Y.2d 436, 445; Matter of McGurn v Mosca, 144 A.D.2d 365, 366).
