Officer Joles was hired by the Milford Police Department on August 1, 2017. On October 12, 2018, he was terminated during his probationary period due to alleged misconduct, poor performance, and repeated lapses of judgment. Prior to his termination, Joles had requested a hearing before a Disciplinary Hearing Board, which was not granted. He subsequently filed a lawsuit against the department under § 1983, the Delaware Constitution, and the Delaware Law Enforcement Officer’s Bill of Rights. The case was settled on April 15, 2020, and dismissed on March 10, 2021.
