It's borderline impossible for me to give a good answer to that because I don't know that department's policy, I don't know this officer's prior conduct and I don't know the framework for termination during a probationary period for that department. You'd have to look at the entirety of this officer's record and you'd have to know policy before you could make that determination. I will say this is one of the problems I have with "at will" employment, they don't even need to give you a reason many times.
