LPPT Posted August 22, 2019 Report Share Posted August 22, 2019 Ex-officer says Hiram officials discriminated against him because of age, health and 'speaking out' A longtime Hiram police officer alleges that city officials demoted him because of his age, made him work while he was on medical leave following a heart attack, and subjected him to an unlawful “fit for duty” test upon his return.
