If the accused member fails to request a hearing within eight days after service of the charges upon him, or fails or refuses to appear for the hearing, or waives his right to such hearing, the superintendent may make findings and impose such disciplinary action as he deems proper. The officer commanding the troop or detail commander of the troop or detail to which the accused member is assigned shall be so notified and shall thereafter be responsible for the immediate notification of the accused member.
