A former Mason police officer was terminated from his job after a uniform dispute. The officer, Brandon Saylor, was fired for wearing a department-issued hat that wasn’t authorized with the standard uniform. Saylor’s representatives argue that firing him over this decision was excessive, as he couldn’t wear the summer uniform due to the department’s tattoo policy.
Unions Speak Out
Several unions representing Mason first responders have spoken out in support of Saylor, condemning the city for his firing. The unions claim that the city has a pattern of isolating individual employees, exaggerating or manufacturing alleged misconduct, and using discipline to send a message to the rest of the workforce.
The Mason Police Department has declined to comment on the matter, citing city protocols and respect for employee privacy.
