    Many courts addressing the procedural requirements for an administrative appeal have stated that public safety officers are entitled to an evidentiary hearing before a neutral fact finder. ( Gonzalez v. City of Los Angeles, supra , 42 Cal.App.5th at p. 1043, 256 Cal.Rptr.3d 191 ; Conger v. County of Los Angeles (2019) 36 Cal.App.5th 262, 269, 248 Cal.Rptr.3d 394 ; Morgado v. City and County of San Francisco (2017) 13 Cal.App.5th 1, 7, 220 Cal.Rptr.3d 497.) The more extensive procedural protections applicable to public safety officers who may be terminated only for cause are addressed in Caloca v. County of San Diego (1999) 72 Cal.App.4th 1209, 85 Cal.Rptr.2d 660 ( Caloca I ) and Caloca v. County of San Diego (2002) 102 Cal.App.4th 433, 126 Cal.Rptr.2d 3 ( Caloca II ).
