What is the period allowed for an officer to submit an appeal to TCOLE after a decision has been made?

The period allowed for an officer to submit an appeal to TCOLE after a decision has been made is 30 days. This timeframe is specified in TCOLE's rules and regulations, giving officers a clear and defined window within which they must act if they wish to contest a decision that affects their licensure or employment status. This 30-day period ensures that appeals can be processed in a timely manner while also giving officers sufficient time to prepare their cases. Understanding this timeline is crucial for officers who may find themselves needing to exercise their right to appeal, as missing the deadline can forfeit their opportunity to challenge a decision.
