Jersey City has lost yet another round in the battle against its cannabis-using police officers. But despite mounting losses, the city is apparently refusing to back down from the fight. In a decision released last week, the state Civil Service Commission ordered that Police Officer Omar Polanco, who was fired on March 1 for off-duty cannabis use, be reinstated onto the force immediately, affirming a ruling by the Office of Administrative Law in his case.
The decision also awarded Polanco, who was hired in 2019, back pay, benefits, seniority and reasonable attorney’s fees. He was represented by attorney Michael Rubas. If you purchase a product or register for an account through a link on our site, we may receive compensation.
