Court of Appeals of New York
In the Matter of Feola v. Carroll, 83
When a police officer is convicted of a misdemeanor with elements which constitute willful deceit, calculated disregard for honest dealings, intentional dishonesty or corruption of purpose, an oath of office violation has occurred and the position becomes vacant without the need for a due process disciplinary hearing. Further, a conviction for endangering the welfare of a child under Penal Law section 260.10(1) conclusively establishes a lack of moral integrity.
