Any police officer below the rank of Captain who is subject to the jurisdiction of the Civil Service Commission, who has successfully completed the probationary period, may, within five days, appeal any discharge, suspension or demotion, except in the case of a reduction in force, to the Civil Service Commission, which shall fully hear and determine the matter in accordance with rules and regulations promulgated by the Commission for the conduct of such hearings. Such police officers must notify in writing the police department and the Civil Service Commission of his or her intent to appeal within the five-day period. The Civil Service Commission shall have the power to enforce the attendance of witnesses, the production of books or papers and the power to administer oaths. The Commission shall have the authority, after a full and complete hearing on an appeal, to sustain or alter the disciplinary action; provided, it does not have the power to enhance the disciplinary action. The decision of the Commission is binding upon such officer and the Police Department. Either party may appeal such decision to the District Court of Johnson County as provided by law.
