- Purported agreement between a police officer and county human resources director that the officer would withdraw an appeal of termination if disciplinary materials were removed from the employee file to preserve the officer's Peace Officer Standards and Training Council (P.O.S.T.) certification was void and unenforceable because it would have violated not only the P.O.S.T. Council's regulations but also the record-keeping requirements of O.C.G.A. § 35-8-15 and the prohibition of O.C.G.A. § 35-8-7.2(a)(2) against knowingly making "misleading, deceptive, untrue, or fraudulent representations in the practice of being a peace officer or in any document connected therewith." Maner v. Chatham County, 246 Ga. App. 265, 540 S.E.2d 248 (2000).
County was statutorily required to maintain duplicate personnel records for a police officer who worked for the county school system and to forward a copy of the records to the Georgia Peace Officer Standards and Training Council, and the county was required by regulation to inform the Council when the officer resigned in lieu of termination; dismissal of the officer's claim for breach of an alleged contract requiring the county to report only that the officer resigned was proper. Flowers v. Fulton Cnty. Sch. Sys., 654 Fed. Appx. 396 (11th Cir. 2016)(Unpublished).
